This article examines the current politics around decolonialism, migration, and borders by exmaining the spatial patterns of Hasidic Jews, a group which practices a similar way of life across various countries. This group exhibits a form of diaspora urbanism in that members are constantly moving between parallel communities across the US, Asia, and Europe. In their radical eschewing of modern society and refusal to integrate into the countries around them, this group has previously been looked at within a decolonial lens as resisting the hegemony of western liberal values. But despite being tangibly impacted by the ability to migrate and often seeing themselves as immigrants, the group’s electoral patterns skew towards right-wing parties which promote illiberal anti-migration and anti-Arab policies. This gets at a contradiction whereby a group that benefits from liberalism’s religious and cultural tolerance — and the ability to move across borders — openly rebels against those particular values as part of an anti-establishment ethos. In this sense, a group which might be seen through a decolonial lens supports larger forces that make their way of life impossible. This paper examines the effectiveness of the decolonial lens towards understanding these contradictions not only for this group but also for the current politics of xenophobia, liberalism, and migration more broadly.
