{"product_id":"jews-and-muslims-aron-rodrigue-9780295983141","title":"Jews and Muslims: Images of Sephardi and Eastern Jewries in Modern Times","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the rise of Islam, many Jewish communities lived in predominantly Muslim lands. Muslim-Jewish co-existence was not seriously challenged until the modern period when European colonialism and the emergence of Zionism and Arab nationalism led to growing friction and conflict, resulting in the mass departures of Jews from these lands in the middle of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJews and Muslims\u003c\/i\u003e throws light on the history of these communities and on the developments that led to the snapping of ties between \u003ci\u003eJews and Muslims\u003c\/i\u003e by focusing on the century before the end of Jewish life in these areas. It interweaves analysis with translations of primary documents drawn from the archives of a French-Jewish organization, the Alliance Israelite Universelle, that had an extensive Jewish school network around the Mediterranean basin and whose teachers reported extensively on local events and trends over the decades. It illuminates the political, socio-economic, and cultural changes that eroded the place of Jews in Middle Eastern societies and offers a unique perspective, from within, on the historical background of some of the most vexing problems of the modern Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNational Jewish Book Awards Honor Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aron Rodrigue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295983140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295983141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.40w x 0.77d","brand":"Aron Rodrigue","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055881023743,"sku":"9780295983141","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdbf8522-bd56-4a19-b8a4-319b1ae132ea.jpg?v=1685038320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jews-and-muslims-aron-rodrigue-9780295983141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
