Jews had resided in Libya since Phoenician times, seventeen centuries before their encounter with the Arab conquest in AD 644-646. Their disappearance from Libya, like most other Jewish communities in North Africa and the Middle East, led to their fragmentation across the globe as well as reconstitution in two major centers, Israel and Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistinctive Libyan Jewish traditions and a broad cultural heritage have survived and prospered in different places in Israel and in Rome, Italy, where Libyan Jews are recognized for their vibrant contribution to Italian Jewry. Nevertheless, with the passage of time, memories fade among the younger generations and multiple identities begin to overshadow those inherited over the centuries. Capturing the essence of Libyan Jewish cultural heritage, this anthology aims to reawaken and preserve the memories of this community. \u003ci\u003eJewish\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibya\u003c\/i\u003e collects the work of scholars who explore the community's history, its literature and dialect, topography and cuisine, and the difficult negotiation of trauma and memory. In shedding new light on this now-fragmented culture and society, this collection commemorates and celebrates vital elements of Libyan Jewish heritage and encourages a lively intergenerational exchange among the many Jews of Libyan origin worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Roumani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815635802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacques Roumani \u003c\/b\u003ewas a senior fellow at the Hebrew University's Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace and a senior lecturer at Bar-Ilan University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Meghnagi\u003c\/b\u003e is full member of the International Psychoanalytical Association, chair of clinical psychology, chair of the International Master's on Holocaust Studies at Roma Tre University, and editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eTrauma and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Roumani \u003c\/b\u003eis a translator and editor of \u003ci\u003eSephardic Horizons.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40551780548723,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ed5cfd45-88e4-4357-ae3d-6700290c1c9d.jpg?v=1667398716","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/jewish-libya-memory-and-identity-in-text-and-image-9780815635802","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
