Hardback. Zustand: New. 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.…

paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine, edge of front cover a bit faded by light. SOMEKH, SASSON. Baghdad, yesterday: the making of an Arab Jew. Jerusalem: Ibis Editions, 2007, later printing number line ending in 2, 187pp., . Originally published in Hebrew as Baghdad, etmol by Hakibbutz Hameuchad, Tel Aviv, 2003 - "Sasson Somekh's memoir takes shape like a series of telling snapshots from another time and place. The time is the 1930s and '40s and the place, Iraq, where Somekh and his family were part of the country's then-flourishing Jewish community. The book offers an intimate view of this milieu and manages both to describe vividly the young Somekh's intellectual and emotional growth and to map the now-vanished world of Baghdad's book stalls and literary cafes, its Arabic-speaking Jewish bank clerks, outdoor movies at the Cinema Diana, and bonfires by the Tigris. As the pieces of Somekh's unsentimental memoir accumulate, they also mount in meaning. The book celebrates the ups and downs of Iraqi Jewish life as it also portrays the eventual dissolution of the community in the early 1950s.". ISBN 9789659012589.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Life after Baghdad is a follow-on volume to author Sasson Somekh's highly successful Baghdad, Yesterday [Ibis Editions, Jerusalem, 2007], which told of Somekh's boyhood in the city of his birth and the circumstances under which his family decided to forsake Iraq, a land in which they were rooted for centuries, and move to Israel. The first book was highly acclaimed in the Times Literary Supplement and London Review of Books - and from the Israeli Ha'aretz, 'It is hard to overstate the beauty, originality, lucidity, gentleness, wisdom and importance of Baghdad, Yesterday.' This present book continues the story where the previous volume ends. Sasson Somekh, a noted student of modern Arabic culture, relates his life as a university professor and writer, taking the reader to Oxford, Princeton, and Cairo, and introducing the scholars and writers he befriended: S.D. Goitein, Mustafa Badawi, and Haim Blanc, among others. He devotes a major section to Naguib Mahfouz (1911-2006), with whom he m. …
