The Jewish-Muslim question in modern France -- Jewish, Muslim, and possibly French -- Pushing the boundaries of Mediterranean France -- Jews as Muslims and Muslims as Jews -- Expanding the republic or ending the empire? -- A time of choosing -- Higher fences, better neighbors? -- Jews as Jews and Muslims as Muslims -- Jews and Muslims always and forever?
Headlines from France suggest that the country's Jews and Muslims are inevitably at odds. But the past tells a different story. In this sweeping history from World War I to the present, Ethan Katz shows that Jewish-Muslim relations were more complex, shaped by everyday encounters and perceptions of deeply rooted similarities as well as differences.
