At times their calls are lofty, full of spiritual lamentation and political outrage. At others, they are humble, yearning for medicine, a cigarette, or a pair of shoes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTranslated from French, Arabic, North African Judeo-Arabic, Spanish, Hebrew, Moroccan Darija, Tamazight (Berber), Italian, and Yiddish, or transcribed from their original English, these writings shed light on how war, occupation, race laws, internment, and Vichy French, Italian fascist, and German Nazi rule were experienced day by day across North Africa. Though some selections are drawn from published books, including memoirs, diaries, and collections of poetry, most have never been published before, nor previously translated into English. These human experiences, combined, make up the history of wartime North Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAomar Boum\u003c\/b\u003e is Maurice Amado Chair in Sephardic Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of \u003ci\u003eMemories of Absence: How Muslims Remember Jews in Morocco.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eSarah Abrevaya Stein\u003c\/b\u003e is Viterbi Family Chair in Mediterranean Jewish Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of \u003ci\u003eFamily Papers: A Sephardic Journey Through the Twentieth Century.\u003c\/i\u003e They are coeditors of \u003ci\u003eThe Holocaust and North Africa\u003c\/i\u003e (Stanford, 2018), a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50450018238738,"sku":"9781503631991","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a4608d44-72a0-482a-a26e-8e2838e9e3cd.jpg?v=1729748980","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/wartime-north-africa-a-documentary-history-1934-1950-9781503631991","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
