JWST 11.02 History and Culture of the Arab-Jews

This course examines the history, social characteristics, and cultural identity of the Arab Jews. One of the goals of the course is to examine the question “who is an Arab Jew?” What perceptions and definitions relate to the differences between Sephardi, Mizrahi, and Arab Jews? What is Arab Jewish history and what is its place in Jewish, Middle Eastern, and Israeli historiography? An examination of these questions requires an understanding of the history of the Arab Jews in different periods and different geographical and cultural spaces, against the background of transitions in imperial, colonial, and national rule.
