Anyone who really wants to understand the Middle East  Israel and world history  should read it.\" Tom Gross  former Middle East correspondent  Sunday Telegraph; contributor to The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal  Now available in paperback! Who are the Jews from Arab countries? What were relations with Muslims like? What made Jews leave countries where they had been settled for thousands of years? What lessons can we learn from the mass exodus of minorities from the Middle East? Lyn Julius undertakes to answer all these questions and more in Uprooted  the culmination of ten years of work studying these issues. Jews lived continuously in the Middle East and North Africa for almost 3 000 years. Yet  in just 50 years  their indigenous communities outside Palestine almost totally disappeared as more than 99 percent of the Jewish population fled. Some 650 000including a minority of ideological Zionistswent to Israel. Before the Holocaust they constituted ten percent of the worlds Jewish population  and now over 50 percent of Israels Jews are refugees from Arab and Muslim countries  or their descendants. This same process is now repeating in Christian and other minority communities across the Middle East. This book assesses how well these Jews have integrated into Israel and how their struggles have been politicized. It charts the growing clamour for recognition  redress and memorialization for these Jewish refugees  and looks at how their cause can contribute to peace and reconciliation between Israel and the Muslim world.
