The anecdotal material is fascinating and the questioning of old stereotypes is important. It is not a study that will be easily surpassed: it represents many years of serious scholarship and the ability to challenge some old views with new data. It is definitely a book that anyone teaching Middle Eastern Jewry should read and assign to students. Descendants of that community in America should welcome its insights into their history and culture.' 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aJews$zSyria$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJews$zSyria$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aJews$zSyria$xLegal status, laws, etc$y19th century 606 $aJews$zSyria$xCultural assimilation$y19th century 607 $aSyria$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aJews$xCultural assimilation 676 $a305.892/40569109034 700 $aHarel$b Yaron$01582243 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796323103321 996 $aSyrian Jewry in Transition, 1840-1880$93864452 997 $aUNINA
