Beskrivning

Homogenization, monochromatic rendering, and the process of schematic imposition is readily apparent in modern mainstream Jewish French politics. The Jewish Maghreb explores complex self and communal understandings of Maghrebi Jewish populations and their descendants in France through ethnography across generations. This study examines how colonial history, migration, and geopolitics shape ongoing Maghrebi belonging. From commercial networks in Paris to Algerian pilgrimage journeys, the book reveals communal North African Jewish navigation of plural sediments of self and history. The heuristic ‘maghrebinicité,’ works to illuminate ongoing negotiations of memory, citizenship, and cultural transmission in postcolonial France, offering fresh insights into diaspora, return, and the persistence of transnational connections.

Recensioner i media

“This is a very important political and intellectual project that shows the often buried, always hard to articulate sets of connections between and among North African Jews and Muslims that are too often silenced by more conventional national and religious narratives.” • Kimberly Arkin, Boston University“This is a highly original, exceptionally well researched and engaging book. It makes a strong theoretical contribution to the study of Jewish and Muslim histories in France and is likely to become an important reference point in future research on the topic.” • Yulia Egorova, Durham University
