Reviews

"...this is a brave, fascinating, excellent book that will mark an important turning point in the study of Jews from Arab and Islamic countries and their relationship to the Jewish state." - xMiddle East Journal "Shenhav provides an erudite account of how the history of the Arab Jews complicates the presuppositions undergirding teleological and state-centered Zionist historiography... Because his approach does not subscribe to a simple dichotomisation between secular and religious interpretations of national identity, Shenhav's recognition of the elastic nexus of religion, nationalism and ethnicity may contribute a valuable framework for future reflections on the role of religion in conflict and peace-building." - Nations and Nationalisms "The cultural conflict faced by Jews, functioning under what might be considered a common ideology - Zionism - is deftly analyzed." - Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
