Dispersion of Egyptian Jewry - Culture, Politics, and the Formation of a Modern Diaspora

Klappentext "The best sort of historical revisionism—sophisticated but unobtrusive in its use of theory, consistently contextual in its assessment of sources and texts, open-ended and suggestive of broader implications in its conclusions."—James Jankowski, coauthor of Redefining the Egyptian Nation, 1930-1945 Zusammenfassung This history examines fundamental questions of ethnic identity by focusing on the Egyptian Jewish community since 1948. Central to the study is the question of how people handle multiple identities and loyalties that are dislocated and reformed by turbulent political and cultural processes.
