| Content | This course offers a historical overview of the Jewish communities of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia in the modern era. Starting from the early 19th century, these communities experienced periods of rapid change. They, and the societies in which they lived were exposed to European colonialism and its broader impact. This course will highlight the experiences and reactions of North African Jews to these changes, along with the rise of new social, religious, and political currents (particularly nationalism) within them. The course will incorporate new approaches to the study of North African Jewish communities, mainly placing these communities in the broader context of the societies in which they lived. The emerging story of these communities is a highly complex realtionship between them and the Muslim majority, offering a rich portrait that remains unknown to many. |
