In Arab-Jewish Literature: The Birth and Demise of the Arabic Short Story, Reuven Snir offers an account of the emergence of the art of the Arabic short story among the Arabized Jews during the 1920s, especially in Iraq and Egypt, its development in the next two decades, until the emigration to Israel after 1948, and the efforts to continue the literary writing in Israeli society, the shift to Hebrew, and its current demise. The stories discussed in the book reflect the various stages of the development of Arab-Jewish identity during the twentieth century and are studied in the relevant updated theoretical and literary contexts. An anthology of sixteen translated stories is also included as an appendix to the book. "Highly recommended for academic libraries collecting in the areas of Arab-Jewish cultural history, diaspora and exile studies, and literary identity formations." - Dr. Yaffa Weisman, Los Angeles, in: Association of Jewish Libraries News and Reviews 1.2 (2019)
The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of the mixed women’s groups (Jewish and Arab) on the relationship between the two nations in daily life and in the future. A derivative of the study is then the following questions: 1) Can associations of Arab-Jewish women groups influence peoples’ political views and opinions through their activities, in a manner that will construct a desire to share present and future life? 2) Is there a difference between women’s associations and those of men? And 3) Is the impact of separate associations of Arabs or Jews similar to that of joint ones?
