The writings of Jacqueline Shohet Kahanoff (1917–1979) offer a refreshing reassessment of Arab-Jewish relations in the Middle East. A member of the bourgeois Jewish community in Cairo, Kahanoff grew up in a time of coexistence. She spent the years of World War II in New York City, where she launched her writing career with publications in prominent American journals. Kahanoff later settled in Israel, where she became a noted cultural and literary critic. Mongrels or Marvels offers Kahanoff's most influential and engaging writings, selected from essays and works of fiction that anticipate contemporary concerns about cultural integration in immigrant societies. Confronted with the breakdown of cosmopolitan Egyptian society, and the stereotypes she encountered as a Jew from the Arab world, she developed a social model, Levantinism, that embraces the idea of a pluralist, multicultural society and counters the prevailing attitudes and identity politics in the Middle East with the possibility of mutual respect and acceptance.

Au carrefour entre l’histoire économique et l’histoire culturelle, cet ouvrage propose une réflexion collective sur le besoin d’expertise à l’époque médiévale. Les prises de décision devaient parfois être éclairées par des hommes qui maîtrisaient mieux que d’autres les domaines en cause et étaient, de ce fait, en mesure de trouver des solutions. Cela est particulièrement vrai lorsque des questions techniques ou éthiques étaient soulevées et que des choix devaient être faits à partir de l’argumentation d’un expert. La qualité des produits, les processus de fabrication ou la mesure de leur valeur donnaient lieu à des contrôles pour lesquels il fallait des personnels à la fois compétents et forts d’une notoriété reconnue par les autorités en place : il s’agissait d’éviter ou de réprimer les fraudes, de défendre l’honneur de la ville ou celui du métier et de protéger le bien commun en garantissant le produit. Tout au long de cette époque, ont été développées des pratiques juridiques et techniques reposant sur la reconnaissance des savoirs et des compétences de l’expert, figure particulière désignée par la puissance publique. Ce livre propose une approche originale des problématiques et des questionnements rarement — voire jamais — appliqués au champ de la vie économique au Moyen Âge. A medio camino entre la historia económica y la historia cultural, este libro examina la necesidad de peritaje en la Edad Media, época en la que se desarrollaron prácticas jurídicas y técnicas basadas en el reconocimiento de los saberes y competencias del experto, figura designada por el poder público para ilustrar la toma de decisiones, especialmente cuando se planteaban cuestiones técnicas o éticas.

This is the first study of historical attempts by animal welfare groups to ban the Jewish method of slaughter (shechita). It details cases from Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, and the United States, many for the first time, in which anti-animal cruelty groups prosecuted those engaged in shechita as part of their attempts to introduce compulsory stunning of animals before slaughter. Despite claims to the contrary, this study offers clear evidence of underlying, unrelenting antisemitic motivations in the prosecutions, and highlights the ways in which a basic idea of innate Jewish cruelty was always juxtaposed with an overtly Christian ideal of humane treatment of animals across time and borders.
