The last generation in Kurdistan : between WWI and the immigration to Israel.Based on new oral sources, carefully analyzed, this book explores the relationships between Jewish subjects and their tribal chieftains in Kurdistan, focusing on the patronage and justice provided by the chieftains and the financial support provided by the Jews to endure troubles and caprices of chieftains. New reports and vivid tales unveil the status of Jews in the tribal setting; the slavery of rural Jews; the conversion to Islam and the defense mechanisms adopted by Jewish leaders to annul conversion of abducted women. Other topics are the trade and occupations of the Jews and their financial exploitation by chieftains. The last part explores the experience of Jewish communities in Iraqi Kurdistan between World War I and the mass-migration to Israel (1951-52).Jewish identities in a changing world ;v. 9.JewsKurdistanHistoryJewsIdentityKurdistanHistoryJewsKurdistanSocial conditionsChiefdomsKurdistanHistoryKurdistanHistoryKurdistanEthnic relationsJewsHistory.JewsIdentityHistory.JewsSocial conditions.ChiefdomsHistory.305.892/405667Zaken Mordechai1547358MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782585603321Jewish subjects and their tribal chieftains in Kurdistan3803689UNINA
