Oz’s three anthology appearances reflect the breadth of contexts in which his work has been collected: Israeli kibbutz literature, global Jewish writing, and literary journals. Until Daybreak (1984) gathers kibbutz stories from a generation of Israeli writers for whom communal agricultural life was both ideology and daily reality.
I Am Jewish (2004), which includes a contribution from Oz, is an anthology of statements by contemporary Jewish writers on the meaning of Jewish identity — a project that suited him well, given that questions of identity, belonging, and the relationship between individual and community were at the core of everything he wrote.
