This book brings together a collection of 16 essays that explore
Jewish communities in North Africa, Turkey and Iraq. The
discussions are located primarily in the 20th century but essays
also examine the Jewish community in 16th-century Istanbul, and in
early modern Morocco. Topics include traumatic departures of
communities from countries of centuries-old Jewish residence, and
relocations; pilgrimages to holy sites by Mizrahi Jews in Israel;
resonances of Shabbetai Zevi in Turkey and Morocco; "otherness" and
the nature of homeland; the Sephardi culinary heritage as realised
in the cookbooks of Claudia Roden; sites of memory, such as
Kuzguncuk in Turkey; and a controversial view of the exclusions and
erasures that Arabized Jews have undergone. In this unique
collection a major, but not exclusive, theme is that of the
instability of memory, and the attempt to understand the
interactions between memory and history as Jews recount their
experiences of living in, and often leaving, their past homelands.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Modern Jewish Studies.
