Praise
“A tour de force of formal, conceptual, and historiographical innovation, not to mention ethical creativity. In keeping with Azoulay’s historiographical innovation, not to mention ethical creativity. In keeping with Azoulay’s terms-this powerful book refuses the partitioning of composite Arab and Jewish identities and shared forms of life in colonized Algeria. Azoulay reopens the foreclosed past by means of a dazzling epistolatory experiment. In letters to ancestors and elected kin (Hannah Arendt, Frantz remain. This work is a manifesto of repair in times of unconscionable violence.”
—Leela Gandhi, author of Affective Communities
“Azoulay has thought deeply about the many specificities of Algerian Jews – people she calls Jewish Muslims-and draws lessons from their destroyed worlds. The Jewelers of the Ummah – which sparkles and glows like the heavy and handmade jewelry which Azoulay crafts to help her think differently – teaches readers how existing recitals of the past obscure luminous and complicated realities. It opens precious possibilities to think about Palestine as well as what anticolonial futures-freedom from every river to every sea-could look like.”
—Todd Shepard, author of The Invention of Decolonization
