Jewish nationalism à la Russe : the Society for Jewish Folk Music. "Trifles of Jewish music" ; Zhidï and Yevrei in a neonationalist context -- Man's most dangerous myth : Ernest Bloch and racial thought. Racial mystique : anti-semitism and Ernest Bloch's theories of art ; Denied and accepted stereotypes : from Jézabel to Schelomo ; The confines of Judaism and the elusiveness of universality : the Sacred service -- Utopias/dystopias : Arnold Schoenberg's spiritual Judaism. Uneasy parallels : from German nationalism to Jewish utopia ; Torsos and abstractions : "music in its promised land" ; On the ashes of the Holocaust : anxiety, abstraction, and Schoenberg's rhetoric of fear ; A taste for "the things in heaven" : cleansing music of politics.

Summary: 'Jewish Identities' mounts a challenge to prevailing essentialist assumptions about 'Jewish music', which maintain that ethnic groups, nations or religious communities possess an essence that must manifest itself in art created by members of that group.
