Lucia Admiraal is Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern Studies, University of Groningen, The Netherlands.

Confronting Fascism in the Arabic Jewish Press introduces the vibrant conversation among Jewish intellectuals primarily in Egypt and Lebanon amid the turbulent period of emerging conflicting ideologies such as Communism, Fascism, Zionism, and local Nationalism. Admiraal, by conducting exemplary research, ties these discussions to developments taking place in the general society, thus allowing us to de-ghetto-ize Jewish history in the region. The reader will be able to understand later developments in the history of Middle Eastern Jews in a much more nuanced and comprehensive manner.
