Between Foreigners and Shi‘is - Nineteenth-Century Iran and its Jewish Minority (Hardcover)

Based on archival and primary sources in Persian, Hebrew, Judeo-Persian, Arabic, and European languages, "Between Foreigners and Shi'is" examines the Jews' religious, social, and political status in nineteenth-century Iran. This book, which focuses on Nasir al-Din Shah's reign (1848-1896), is the first comprehensive scholarly attempt to weave all these threads into a single tapestry. This case study of the Jewish minority illuminates broader processes pertaining to other religious minorities and Iranian society in general, and the interaction among intervening foreigners, the Shi'i majority, and local Jews helps us understand Iranian dilemmas that have persisted well beyond the second half of the nineteenth century.
