Since the 1980's, they have sought homecoming through the state's right of return law. Instead of a welcoming embrace, Israel's government and society regard them with reticence and suspicion. Using more over ten years of ethnographical research, One People, One Blood expertly documents this tenuous relationship and the challenges facing the Feres Mura.Jewish cultures of the world.Jews, EthiopianIsraelJewsEthiopiaHistoryJudaismEthiopiaFeres MuraEthiopiaEthnic relationsElectronic books.Jews, EthiopianJewsHistory.JudaismFeres Mura.305.892/4063Seeman Don1968-878732MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456842103321One people, one blood1961930UNINA
