{"product_id":"afro-jewish-encounters-9781558765825","title":"Afro-Jewish Encounters","description":"A Muslim curator and archivist who preserves in his native Timbuktu the memory of its rabbi. An evangelical Kenyan who is amazed to meet a living \"Israelite.\" Indian Ocean islanders who maintain the Jewish cemetery of escapees from Nazi Germany. These are just a few of the encounters the author shares from his sojourns and fieldwork spanning 35 years in sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian Ocean, the West Indies, and the Holy Land. In this collection of new and revised essays, with a foreword by Professor Ali A. Mazrui, William Miles vividly illustrates how Africa, Israel, and their diasporas constitute an extraordinary crucible for African Jews, wandering Jews, and the unforgettable Afro-Jewish encounters that ensue. Combining the rigors of academic research with a \"you are there\" delivery, this book is suitable for introductory courses on Africa, ethnography, Jewish studies, and religious studies, as well as for the reading pleasure of the ecumenical-minded traveler.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Markus Wiener Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50356426998034,"sku":"9781558765825","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b467bf3d-f8cb-4e0e-a141-fdef0ca38e7f.jpg?v=1728310046","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/afro-jewish-encounters-9781558765825","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
