    to all instances. For the best study of various versions of such claims, see Parfitt,Lost
    Tribes of Israel.


22. Kirsch, “Lost Tribes,” 58. Kirsch ties the assigning of the “lost tribal identity” to
    discovered tribes to “the expansion of the world system,” 65. The study of assigning lost
    tribal identity in such contexts started with Godbey,Lost Tribes a Myth. For a compre-
    hensive bibliography, see Parfitt,Lost Tribes of Israel. See also Parfitt, “Hebrew in
    Colonial Discourse.”

    buum(Naphtali... The Return of the Ten Tribes), which also has a historical segment in

    is Andrew Gow’sThe Red Jews, which focuses on late medieval and early modern
    Germany. The literature in Hebrew is vast; for a bibliography, see Vail,Me-‘Ever
