This is reflected in the ubiquitous concept of \"identity,\" both in colloquial and academic discourse, which emphasizes differentiation from the non-identical or the Other. In contrast, the self-perception of diasporic Jews draws more from their being in simultaneous relation with various others and their continual praxis of translation between different collectives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume presents a series of detailed studies that examine the relational and culturally translated Jewish self-understanding, particularly of Sephardic Jews in the Maghreb, Mashriq, and Yemen. Relationality arises not necessarily from what different groups have in common but also from the very differences that define them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the significance of mobility and translocal communication during the Sephardic Middle Ages--such as between Córdoba, Fez, Cairo, and Baghdad--has been recognized, this volume shifts the focus to the relational practices and rationalities of modern Jewish life in those Muslim countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ottfried Fraisse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3119149098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783119149099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Ottfried Fraisse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588469207295,"sku":"9783119149099","price":120.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/relationality-of-the-jewish-in-ottfried-fraisse-9783119149099","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
