Jewish Literature in Romania in the First Half of the 20th century; Case Study: Mihail Sebastian and the Jewish Identity

Jewish literature from Romania in the first half of the 20th century has had a difficult and unique path, because Jewish writers of Romanian origin were not integrated into the Romanian literary canon, being considered inferior from a literary point of view as compared to Romanian writers. Our presentation is divided into two main parts: the first one deals with the manner in which Romanian intellectuals relate to Jewish literature, what are the aspects that make Jewish literature to be considered a minor literature (Deleuze, Guattari) and what are the causes that led to the support of the right wing extremism and the intensification of anti-Semitism among Romanian intellectuals. In the second part we discuss the Romanian writer of Jewish origin - Mihail Sebastian - and his novel De două mii de ani (For two thousand years), published in 1935, which stirred up a considerable amount of controversy at the time because of the particular way in which the character sets out possible solutions to the Jewish problem.
