As the governments of these two states continue to display animosity towards each other, an examination of the Jews of Iran who now live in Israel provides important insights into the nature of the relationship between these two key countries in the Middle East. Alessandra Cecolin combines a historical approach to the patterns of Iranian Jewish emigration to Israel with a political analysis of Iranian-Israeli relations, exploring how the political and diplomatic interactions between the two have shaped the processes of emigration and integration of Iranian Jewry in Israel. In this book she explores how this community is often caught between a Persian cultural identity and Israeli nationality, and draws out the implications this has both for the community in Israel and for the wider region."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Jews, IranianIsraelEthnic identityInternational relationsBICIranForeign relationsIsraelIsraelForeign relationsIranJews, IranianEthnic identity.International relations.305.8915505694956.94004924Cecolin Alessandra1263030UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910156171703321Iranian Jews in Israel2957527UNINA
