Turkish Jews and their Diasporas. Entanglements and Separations

“Laying bare the twin myths of Ottoman tolerance and Turkish-Jewish friendship upon which so much of Turkish-Jewish history writing was founded, this volume demonstrates how a dwindling Jewish community and growing antisemitism in Turkey are now unravelling these myths before our very eyes. Full of sobering and incisive reflections on Ottoman and Turkish Jewish lives past and present, this book offers much to specialists and anyone interested in the processes of mineralization, displacement and diaspora in the modern era.”
