Orientalizing the Jew shows how French travelers depicted Jews in
the Orient and then brought these ideas home to orientalize Jews
living in their homeland during the 19th century. Julie Kalman
draws on narratives, personal and diplomatic correspondence,
novels, and plays to show how the "Jews of the East" featured
prominently in the minds of the French and how they challenged
ideas of the familiar and the exotic. Portraits of the Jewish
community in Jerusalem, romanticized Jewish artists, and the
wealthy Sephardi families of Algiers come to life. These accounts
incite a necessary conversation about Jewish history, the history
of anti-Jewish discourses, French history, and theories of
Orientalism in order to broaden understandings about Jews of the
day.
