Mizrahi, an Egyptian Jew with Italian nationality, established himself as a prolific director of popular comedies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. As a studio owner and producer, Mizrahi promoted the idea that developing a local cinema industry was a project of national importance. Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates film analysis with film history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi's work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful-and queer-use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi's films offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi's contributions to Egyptian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian and what constitutes national cinema.

The writings of Jacqueline Shohet Kahanoff (1917-1979) offer a refreshing reassessment of Arab-Jewish relations in the Middle East. A member of the bourgeois Jewish community in Cairo, Kahanoff grew up in a time of coexistence. She spent the years of World War II in New York City, where she launched her writing career with publications in prominent American journals. Kahanoff later settled in Israel, where she became a noted cultural and literary critic.
"Mongrels or Marvels" offers Kahanoff's most influential and engaging writings, selected from essays and works of fiction that anticipate contemporary concerns about cultural integration in immigrant societies. Confronted with the breakdown of cosmopolitan Egyptian society, and the stereotypes she encountered as a Jew from the Arab world, she developed a social model, Levantinism, that embraces the idea of a pluralist, multicultural society and counters the prevailing attitudes and identity politics in the Middle East with the possibility of mutual respect and acceptance.

1m Manual der Herzchirurgie haben wir versucht, den Ablauf von Herzope- rationen so detailliert wie moglich darzustellen, angefangen bei den grundle- genden chirurgischen Techniken -einem wichtigen, jedoch oft vernachHissig- ten Thema - bis zur sorgfaltigen Beschreibung aller wesentlichen Schritte einer Operation. Das wichtigste Medium zur Vermittlung dieser Informatio- nen sind farbige Illustrationen. Diese Illustrationen sind mit Hilfe von Farb-, Graphit- und Kohlestiften sowie Pastell-, Lasur- und Deckfarben hergestellt worden, wodurch das Operationsfeld mit der groBtmoglichen Wirklichkeits-und Dimensionstreue dargestellt und die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Wesentliche und weg vom Unwesentlichen gelenkt wird. Grundlage dieser Illustrationen waren Beob- achtungen wahrend der Operation, unterstiitzt von Photos und frisch ent- nommenen Gewebeproben. Ziel war es, nicht nur die Hauptelemente der Operationen aufzuzeigen, sondern auch ihre subtilsten Einzelheiten. Wir haben nicht alle moglichen Operationsmethoden gezeigt. Die Auswahl der Techniken ist in gewissem Sinne willkiirlich; es sind jedoch diejenigen, die wahrend einer 20jahrigen klinischen Praxis an der Oregon Health Scien- ces University entwickelt wurden. Diese Techniken haben sich bei uns uns gu t bewahrt. Wir hoffen, daB dieses Buch bei allen, die mit der chirurgischen Behandlung von Herzpatienten betraut sind, regen Anklang finden wird. Wenn es zu einer Erweiterung des Wissens und einer Vertiefung des Verstandnisses fUr die Herzchirurgie fUhrt und damit zu einer verbesserten Betreuung der Patienten beitragt, hat es seinen Hauptzweck erfUllt.
