Book Summary
With only a small remnant of Jews still living in the Maghrib at thebeginning of the 21st century, the vast majority of today's inhabitants of NorthAfrica have never met a Jew. Yet as this volume reveals, Jews were an integral partof the North African landscape from antiquity. Scholars from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Israel, and the United States shed new light on Jewish life andMuslim-Jewish relations in North Africa through the lenses of history, anthropology, language, and literature. The history and life stories told in this book illuminatethe close cultural affinities and poignant relationships between Muslims and Jews, and the uneasy coexistence that both united and divided them throughout the historyof the Maghrib.
