Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"...this is a brave, fascinating, excellent book that will mark an important turning point in the study of Jews from Arab and Islamic countries and their relationship to the Jewish state." -- xMiddle East Journal "The cultural conflict faced by Jews, functioning under what might be considered a common ideology-Zionism-is deftly analyzed." -- Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter "Shenhav provides an erudite account of how the history of the Arab Jews complicates the presuppositions undergirding teleological and state-centered Zionist historiography... Because his approach does not subscribe to a simple dichotomisation between secular and religious interpretations of national identity, Shenhav's recognition of the elastic nexus of religion, nationalism and ethnicity may contribute a valuable framework for future reflections on the role of religion in conflict and peace-building." -- Nations and Nationalisms

Reseña del editor:

This book is about the social history of the Arab Jews-Jews living in Arab countries-against the backdrop of Zionist nationalism.
