This is an accessible and up-to-date account of the Jews during the millennium following Alexander the Great's conquest of the East. Unusually, it acknowledges the problems involved in constructing a narrative from fragmentary yet complex evidence and is, implicitly, an exploration of how this might be accomplished. Moreover, unlike most other introductions to the subject, it concentrates primarily on the people rather than issues of theology and adopts a resolutely unsentimental approach to the subject. Professor Schwartz particularly demonstrates the importance of studying Jewish history, texts and artefacts to the broader community of ancient historians because of what they can contribute to wider themes such as Roman imperialism. The book serves as an excellent introduction for students and scholars of Jewish history and of ancient history.

Le judaïsme était solidement enraciné en Arabie quand Muḥammad fils de ʿAbd Allāh, le prophète de l’islam, s’est engagé dans une nouvelle voie. On le sait par les auteurs de langues grecque et syriaque de l’Antiquité tardive et par la Tradition arabo-musulmane. Par ailleurs, depuis l’islamisation de l’Arabie, il y a toujours eu des juifs, principalement au Yémen.Cependant, on a d’ordinaire considéré ces sources manuscrites, recopiées avec des erreurs, corrigées, remaniées, amplifiées et parfois falsifiées, avec une grande suspicion. On a notamment douté que le Yémen antique (le royaume de Ḥimyar) ait été juif et que ses rois aient dominé une grande partie de l’Arabie. Depuis une cinquantaine d’années, les recherches archéologiques apportent des confirmations et des correctifs. La découverte de dizaines d’inscriptions et de graffites au Yémen et dans le Ḥijāz en Arabie séoudite a mis en évidence que le judaïsme s’était enraciné en Arabie dès les premiers siècles de l’ère chrétienne et qu’il était dominant au Yémen à partir du IVe s., et probablement plus tôt dans certaines oasis du Ḥijāz. Le christianisme, qui a eu de nombreux adeptes dans les îles du golfe Arabo-persique et sur les côtes, ne s’est propagé au Yémen que tardivement dans quelques régions périphériques. Le judaïsme de l’Arabie antique dresse le premier inventaire exhaustif de toutes les données disponibles. Il tente également de dépasser cette première étape en mettant en évidence une série de petits faits qui permettent de s’interroger sur la nature du judaïsme qui s’est répandu en Arabie à partir du IIe s.

"This narrative history surveying one thousand years of Jewish life integrates the Jewish experience into the context of the overall culture and society of medieval Europe. It presents a new picture of the interaction between Christians and Jews in this tumultuous era." "Alienated Minority shows us what it meant to be a Jew in Europe in the Middle Ages. The story begins in the fifth century, when autonomous Jewish rule in Palestine came to a close, and when the papacy, led by Gregory the Great, established enduring principles regarding Christian policy toward Jews. Kenneth Stow examines the structures of self-government in the European Jewish community and the centrality of emerging concepts of representation. He studies economic enterprise, especially banking; constructs a clear image of the medieval Jewish family; and portrays in detail the very rich Jewish intellectual life." "Analyzing policies of Church and State in the Middle Ages, Stow argues that a firmly defined legal and constitutional position of the Jewish minority in the earlier period gave way to a legal status created expressly for Jews, who in the later period were seen as inimical to the common good. It was this special status that paved the way for the royal expulsions of Jews that began at the end of the thirteenth century." "Kenneth Stow has given us an authentic and multidimensional picture of medieval Jewry and its place in European history. He is Professor of Jewish History, University of Haifa."--BOOK JACKET.

"In this fourth volume, [the author] notes that the decline of religiousness in the second and third generations of American Jews was balanced by the development of an activist political culture based an elaborate organizational life, an effective fund-raising apparatus, and Zionism, with its notion of Jewish peoplehood. That reshaping of American Jewish individual and communal identity in some measure accounts for the insufficient response to the plight of European Jews during the Holocaust. American Jewry's remarkable achievement in the private sphere overshadowed its weakness in the public one"--Series Editor's forword.
