A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs

Open Access

Ammiel Alcalay's 2019;s groundbreaking work, After Jews and Arabs, published in 1993, redrew the geographic, political, cultural, and emotional map of relations between Jews and Arabs in the Levantine/Mediterranean world over a thousand-year period. Based on over a decade of research and fieldwork in many disciplines's 2014;including history and historiography; anthropology, ethnography, and ethnomusicology; political economy and geography; linguistics; philosophy; and the history of science and technology's 2014;the book presented a radically different perspective than that presented by received opinion. Given the radical and iconoclastic nature of Alcalay's 2019;s perspective, After Jews and Arabs met great resistance in attempts to publish it. Though completed and already circulating in 1989, it didn's 2019;t appear until 1993. In addition, when the book was published, there wasn's 2019;t enough space to include its original bibliography, a foundational part of the project. A Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs presents the original bibliography, as completed in 1992, without changes, as a glimpse into the historical record of a unique scholarly, political, poetic, and cultural journey. The bibliography itself had roots in research begun in the late 1970s and demonstrates a very wide arc. In addition to the bibliography, we include two accompanying texts here. In Behind the Scenes: Before After Jews and Arabs, Alcalay takes us behind the closed doors of the academic process, reprinting the original readers reports and his detailed rebuttals, and in On a Bibliography for After Jews and Arabs, Alcalay contextualizes his own path to the work he undertook, in methodological, historical, and political terms.
