Jews of the British Crown Colony of Aden History, Culture, and Ethnic Relations

This volume focuses on the Jewish community of the British Crown Colony of Aden, a community which is mistakenly lumped with Yemenite Jewry. It provides a critical assessment of its history; salient dimensions of its sociopolitical, religious, socioeconomic, cultural and intellectual fabric; insights into the unique quintessential traits that determine the place of the Jewish community of Aden as a cultural and spiritual phenomenon within Yemenite and world Jewry. It also affords a glimpse into the relationship between Jews and Muslims in Aden. The volume is based on a study of hundreds of yet unpublished legal texts and documentary material.Ahroni, Reuben is the author of 'Jews of the British Crown Colony of Aden History, Culture, and Ethnic Relations' with ISBN 9789004101104 and ISBN 9004101101.
