African Zion: Studies in Black Judaism de Edith Bruder

African Zion: Studies in Black Judaism

Editat de Edith Bruder, Tudor Parfitt
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 2012
For the African people who identify as Jews and with other Jews, identification with biblical Israel assumes symbolical significance. This book presents the way in which the religious identification of African American Jews and African black Jews - "real", ideal or imaginary, has been represented, conceptualized and reconfigured over the years.
