(with) Orit Bashkin

223K0

This book chronicles the lives of these Jews, their urban Arab culture, and their hopes for a nation-state, and reveals that the displacement of Iraqi Jews was not the result of persecution but the result of misguided state policies in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Sadly, to this day, the impossibility of Arabs and Jews coexisting remains the dominant narrative in the region.
