Integrating Mandatory Palestine and its inhabitants into the contemporary Semitic-Levantine surroundings, Oriental Neighbors illuminates broad areas of cooperation and coexistence, which coincided with conflict and friction, between Oriental and Sephardi Jews and their Arab neighbors. The book brings the Oriental Jewish community to the fore, examines its role in the Zionist nation-building process, and studies its diverse and complex links with the Arab community in Palestine.Palestinian ArabsSocial conditions20th centuryMizrahimPalestineSocial conditions20th centuryJewish-Arab relationsPalestineHistory1917-1948PalestineEthnic relationsPalestinian ArabsSocial conditionsMizrahimSocial conditionsJewish-Arab relations.305.80095694/09041Jacobson Abigail1973-517495Naor MosheMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910159015303321Oriental Neighbors2894981UNINA
