The Dispersion of Egyptian Jewry
In this provocative and wide-ranging history, Joel Beinin examines fundamental questions of ethnic identity by focusing on the Egyptian Jewish community since 1948. A complex and heterogeneous people, Egyptian Jews have become even more diverse as their diaspora continues to the present day. Central to Beinin's study is the question of how people handle multiple identities and loyalties that are dislocated and reformed by turbulent political and cultural processes. It is a question he grapples with himself, and his reflections on his experiences as an American Jew in Israel and Egypt offer a candid, personal perspective on the hazards of marginal identities.
The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology
The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology offers a comprehensive survey of the entire study of ancient Egypt, from prehistory through to the end of the Roman period. Transcending conventional boundaries between archaeological and ancient textual analysis and bringing together 63 chapters that range widely across the various archaeological, philological, and cultural sub-disciplines, authored by recognized experts in their respective fields, it highlights theextent to which the discipline has diversified and stresses the need for it to seek multidisciplinary methods and broader collaborations if it is to remain contemporary and relevant. Authoritative yet accessible,it is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and general readers alike.
