{"product_id":"the-arab-jews-yehouda-shenhav-9780804752961","title":"The Arab Jews: A Postcolonial Reading of Nationalism, Religion, and Ethnicity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is about the social history of the Arab Jews--Jews living in Arab countries--against the backdrop of Zionist nationalism. By using the term \"Arab Jews\" (rather than \"Mizrahim,\" which literally means \"Orientals\") the book challenges the binary opposition between \u003ci\u003eArabs\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJews\u003c\/i\u003e in Zionist discourse, a dichotomy that renders the linking of Arabs and Jews in this way inconceivable. It also situates the study of the relationships between \u003ci\u003eMizrahi Jews\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAshkenazi Jews\u003c\/i\u003e in the context of early colonial encounters between the Arab Jews and the European Zionist emissaries--prior to the establishment of the state of Israel and outside Palestine. It argues that these relationships were reproduced upon the arrival of the Arab Jews to Israel. The book also provides a new prism for understanding the intricate relationships between the Arab Jews and the Palestinian refugees of 1948, a link that is usually obscured or omitted by studies that are informed by Zionist historiography. Finally, the book uses the history of the Arab Jews to transcend the assumptions necessitated by the Zionist perspective, and to open the door for a perspective that sheds new light on the basic assumptions upon which Zionism was founded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yehouda Shenhav\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804752966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804752961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.34w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 58","brand":"Yehouda Shenhav","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926224208127,"sku":"9780804752961","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b616449a-1068-46f3-b21a-8eb9ff988825.jpg?v=1681081888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-arab-jews-yehouda-shenhav-9780804752961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
