Since the 1990s, they have sought homecoming through Israel's \"Law of Return,\" but have been met with reticence and suspicion on a variety of fronts. One People, One Blood expertly documents this tenuous relationship and the challenges facing the Feres Mura.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistilling more than ten years of ethnographic research, Don Seeman depicts the rich culture of the group, as well as their social and cultural vulnerability, and addresses the problems that arise when immigration officials, religious leaders, or academic scholars try to determine the legitimacy of Jewish identity or Jewish religious experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Seeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813549361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813549361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Don Seeman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438017458431,"sku":"9780813549361","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a58b06a-cbc4-40b5-9e72-f1fb18fce0d6.jpg?v=1777168236","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-people-one-blood-don-seeman-9780813549361","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
