This volume opens the canon of modern Jewish thought to the all too
often overlooked writings of Jews from the Arab East, from the
close of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth.
Whether they identified as Sephardim, Mizrahim, anticolonialists,
or Zionists, these thinkers engaged the challenges and
transformations of Middle Eastern Jewry in this decisive period.
Moshe Behar and Zvi Ben-Dor Benite present Jewish culture and
politics situated within overlapping Arabic, Islamic, and colonial
contexts. The editors invite the reader to reconsider contemporary
evocations of Levantine, Mizrahi, and Arab Jewish identities
against the backdrop of writings by earlier Middle Eastern Jewish
intellectuals who critically assessed or contested the implications
of Western presence and Western Jewish presence in the Middle East;
religion and secularization; and the rise of nationalism,
communism, and Zionism, as well as the State of Israel.
