Free Download André Levy, "Return to Casablanca: Jews, Muslims, and an Israeli Anthropologist"
English | ISBN: 022629255X | 2015 | 240 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In this book, Israeli anthropologist André Levy returns to his birthplace in Casablanca to provide a deeply nuanced and compelling study of the relationships between Moroccan Jews and Muslims there. Ranging over a century of history-from the Jewish Enlightenment and the impending colonialism of the late nineteenth century to today’s modern Arab state-Levy paints a rich portrait of two communities pressed together, of the tremendous mobility that has characterized the past century, and of the paradoxes that complicate the cultural identities of the present.
