{"product_id":"9783119149099","title":"Relationality of the Jewish in Muslim Spaces : Moving Beyond Cultural Identities (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - Tension, Transmission, Transformation)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThinking in binaries (\"us\" versus \"they\") has often been identified as a characteristic of modern Western societies. This is reflected in the ubiquitous concept of \"identity,\" both in colloquial and academic discourse, which emphasizes differentiation from the non-identical or the Other. In contrast, the self-perception of diasporic Jews draws more from their being in simultaneous relation with various others and their continual praxis of translation between different collectives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume presents a series of detailed studies that examine the relational and culturally translated Jewish self-understanding, particularly of Sephardic Jews in the Maghreb, Mashriq, and Yemen. Relationality arises not necessarily from what different groups have in common but also from the very differences that define them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the significance of mobility and translocal communication during the Sephardic Middle Ages-such as between Córdoba, Fez, Cairo, and Baghdad-has been recognized, this volume shifts the focus to the relational practices and rationalities of modern Jewish life in those Muslim countries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProf. Dr., Ottfried Fraisse, University of Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52598136340791,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":655.52,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9783119149099-1.jpg?v=1783322281","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9783119149099","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
