From Ingathering to Integration: The Communal Problem in Israel Summary 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. The editors 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. -- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Jews -- Middle East -- Identity Arabs -- Middle East -- Ethnic identity Jews -- Middle East -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Arabs -- Middle East -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Jewish nationalism -- Middle East Arab nationalism -- Middle East Zionism -- Palestine -- History -- 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Anthropology -- Cultural.
