Moïse de Tétouan, Sa Mémoire en Héritage 1492-1962
L'auteur exhume la biographie d'un arrière-grand-père à partir de documents d'archives et d'articles de journaux. Les recherches font émerger la figure de Moïse au parcours à la fois banale et extraordinaire, mais représentatif de l'histoire des Juifs d'Espagne, du Maroc et d'Algérie. Le mouvement pendulaire entre les deux récits fait comprendre le long et douloureux chemin des "mégorachim", ces expulsés d'Espagne en 1492, devenus "dhimmis" au Maroc puis citoyens français en Algérie. La mise à jour de l'histoire de Moïse permet de rappeler les circonstances de la colonisation de l'Algérie, la mise au pas des Musulmans, l'émancipation des Juifs et le développement de l'antisémitisme chez les colons français et ceux issus de l'émigration latine. Elle permet de remémorer le formidable essor économique, démographique, urbain de la colonie. Ce livre est un hommage à cet ancêtre exemplaire. Il est dédié à tous ceux dont les aïeux traversèrent courageusement les embûches de l'histoire ainsi qu'aux heureux curieux.

The Liberation of the Jew
In this book, written after The Colonizer and the Colonized and Portrait of a Jew, Albert Memmi writes, “It is true that all oppression has a strong tendency to become a total oppression, but it is a question of degree and nuance, of generalities and accent. The specific conditions of each oppression consists precisely of such degrees and particular intonations. The Jew is not oppressed as a member of a class, which distinguishes him from the proletariat, for example. Nor is he oppressed as a member of a biological group, which distinguishes him from Negroes or women. He is affected as a member of a total, social, cultural, political and historical group. In other words, the Jew is oppress...

Christians and Jews Under Islam
Focusing on the Arab World and Turkey, the authors show how Christian and Jewish minorities survived and even prospered under Islam thus modifying the view of Islam as dogmatic and unbending. They demonstrate that the decline of these minorities occurred in the wake of confrontation with the Christian West, the Crusades, the Spanish Reconquista, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa and the Balkans as a result of colonialism and the First World War, and the creation of the state of Israel.
In Ishmael's House
“In this epic examination, [a] celebrated historian explores the evolution of Judaism and Islam through a lens of Middle Eastern stability.” (Publishers Weekly) The relationship between Jews and Muslims has been a flashpoint that affects stability in the Middle East with global consequences. In this eloquent book, Martin Gilbert presents a fascinating account of the hope and fear that have characterized these two peoples through the 1,400 years of their intertwined history. Harking back to the Biblical story of Ishmael and Isaac, Gilbert takes the reader from the origins of the fraught relationship—the refusal of Medina’s Jews to accept Mohammed as a prophet—through the ages of the...
The Alps
The Alps are Europe's highest mountain range: their broad arc stretches right across the center of the continent, encompassing a wide range of traditions and cultures. Andrew Beattie explores the turbulent past and vibrant present of this landscape, where early pioneers of tourism, mountaineering, and scientific research, along with the enduring legacies of historical regimes from the Romans to the Nazis, have all left their mark.
