{"product_id":"jewish-subjects-and-their-tribal-mordechai-zaken-9789004161900","title":"Jewish Subjects and Their Tribal Chieftans in Kurdistan: A Study in Survival","description":"Based on new oral sources, carefully analyzed, this book explores the relationships between Jewish subjects and their tribal chieftains in Kurdistan, focusing on the patronage and justice provided by the chieftains and the financial support provided by the Jews to endure troubles and caprices of chieftains. New reports and vivid tales unveil the status of Jews in the tribal setting; the slavery of rural Jews; the conversion to Islam and the defense mechanisms adopted by Jewish leaders to annul conversion of abducted women. Other topics are the trade and occupations of the Jews and their financial exploitation by chieftains. The last part explores the experience of Jewish communities in Iraqi Kurdistan between World War I and the mass-migration to Israel (1951-52).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mordechai Zaken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004161902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004161900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.65h x 6.69w x 1.13d","brand":"Mordechai Zaken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520655409407,"sku":"9789004161900","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c75a4ee-ee19-4929-ad04-5b8a8e268144.jpg?v=1762886371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-subjects-and-their-tribal-mordechai-zaken-9789004161900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
