Homelands and Diasporas
The volume brings together a collection of essays on Jewish-related subjects to celebrate Emanuela Trevisan Semi’s career and research authored by some former students, friends and colleagues on the occasion of her retirement. Drawing upon the many academic interests and research of Trevisan Semi, one of the most important European scholars of Jewish and Israel Studies, the volume discusses the diversity of Jewish culture both in the diaspora and in Israel. The contributors here wrote their pieces understanding Jewish culture as inscribed in a set of different, yet interrelated, homelands and diasporas, depending on the time and space we refer to, and what this means for communities and individuals living in places as different as West Africa, Poland, Morocco, and Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. At the same time, they discuss the notion of diaspora as being crucial in the formation of the Jewish cultural identity both before and after the birth of the State of Israel.
First-Century Christians in Twenty-First Century Africa
Millions of African Christians who consider themselves genealogical descendants of one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel—in other words, Jewish by ethnicity, but Christian in terms of faith—are increasingly choosing a religious affiliation that honors both of these identities. Their choice: Messianic Judaism. Messianic adherents emulate the Christians of the first century, observing the Jewish commandments while also affirming the salvational grace of Yeshua (Jesus). As the first comparative ethnography of such "fulfilled Jews" on the African continent, this book presents case studies that will enrich our understanding of one of global Christianity’s most overlooked iterations.
A Sephardi Sea
A Sephardi Sea tells the story of Jews from the southern shore of the Mediterranean who, between the late 1940s and the mid-1960s, migrated from their country of birth for Europe, Israel, and beyond. It is a story that explores their contrasting memories of and feelings for a Sephardi Jewish world in North Africa and Egypt that is lost forever but whose echoes many still hear. Surely, some of these Jewish migrants were already familiar with their new countries of residence because of colonial ties or of Zionism, and often spoke the language. Why, then, was the act of leaving so painful and why, more than fifty years afterward, is its memory still so tangible? Dario Miccoli examines how the m...
Silences and Divided Memories
The Istrian Peninsula, which is made up of modern-day Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy suffered from the so-called "Istrian exodus" after the Second World War. This book looks at this difficult, silenced past and shifts the usual focus from migrants to those who stayed behind and to the new immigrants who came to the “emptied” towns.The research, based on individual memories, deals with silences and competing national discourses, reasons to stay and leave, hybrid border ethnic identities, and the renewal of Istrian society and its new social relations. It is a self-critical reflection on an ignored chapter of national history, which, with an empathetic approach, allows the silence to speak.

L'Algérie de Macron
Le premier mandat présidentiel d’Emmanuel Macron a été marqué par une politique particulièrement active sur la guerre d’Algérie. Jamais un chef d’État n’aura personnellement autant agi sur une période historique en cinq ans. L’ouvrage décrypte cet investissement en analysant la façon dont l’objet « guerre d’Algérie » a été mobilisé depuis la campagne présidentielle de 2017 pour être alors intégré dans son positionnement politique « ni droite-ni gauche » et son storytelling d’une figure incarnant le nouveau monde. La guerre d’Algérie s’est trouvée ensuite reconfigurée par des événements (Gilets jaunes, mobilisations antiracistes de la jeunesse, a...
Les Juifs de la Révolution tranquille
Quebec's Jewish community holds a unique political and cultural place in Canada and North America, which led to the creation of a Montreal Jewish identity distinct from those elsewhere in Canada and in the US. The post-war era to the mid 1970s saw decisive changes within the Quebec Jewish community, though it is not widely studied until now. In Les Juifs de la Révolution tranquille analyzes this evolution, Quebec's sociopolitical debates and increasing contact with French-Canadian Quebecers influenced the ideological positioning of the Montreal Jewish community. In a society largely split, on the confessional level, between Catholics and Protestants—the “two solitudes”—, Jewish acti...
