The essays draw on a variety of disciplines--demography, history, political science, sociology, religious and gender studies, anthropology, and literature. Contributors explore the issues surrounding the emergence and increasingly wide usage of "Mizrahi" in place of "Sephardic," as well as the invigoration of Sephardic Judaism. They look at the evolution of Sephardic politics in Israel through the dramatic rise and continuing influence of the Shas political party and its spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Other contributors examine the variegated nature of Mizrahi immigration to Israel, fictional portraits of female Mizrahi immigrants to Israel in the 1940s and 1950s, contemporary Mizrahi Israel feminism, modern Arab historiography's portrayal of Jews of Muslim lands, and the changing Sephardic halakhic tradition. --From publisher's description Analysis Aufsatzsammlung Israel Jewish women in literature Congresses Jüdin Kongress Sephardim Sephardim Congresses Sephardim Israel Congresses Sephardim Israel Political activity Congresses Sephardim Religious life Congresses Women immigrants in literature Congresses Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Master and use copy.
