Arab-Jew memoir challenging cultural stereotypes.

This book would be a good read if you're interested in exploring the complex and often silenced history of Arab-Jews. Avi Shlaim provides a powerful and personal account of his family's exile from Iraq to Israel, challenging the notion that the Zionist mission rescued Eastern Jews. The book celebrates the rich culture and heritage of Arab-Jews and sheds light on the crossfire of secular ideologies that they were caught in. It's a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the clash of Arab and Jewish civilizations.

Description

A unique coming-of-age story from the lost world of Arab-JewsIn July 1950, Avi Shlaim, only five, and his family were forced into exile, fleeing from their beloved Iraq into the new state of Israel.Now the rump of a once flourishing community of over 150,000, dating back 2,600 years, has dwindled to single figures. For many, this tells the story of the timeless clash of the Arab and Jewish civilisations, the heroic mission of Zionism to rescue Eastern Jews from their backwards nations, and unceasing persecution as the fate and history of Jewish people.Avi Shlaim tears up this script. His mother had many Muslim friends in Baghdad, but no Zionist ones. The Iraqi Jewish community, once celebrated for its ancient heritage and rich culture, was sprayed with DDT upon arrival in Israel. As anti-Semitism gathered pace in Iraq, the Zionist underground may have inflamed it – deliberately.This memoir celebrates the disappearing heritage of Arab-Jews – caught in the crossfire of secular ideologies.
