MENA Monday Night. Andre Levy: Return to Casablanca: Jews, Muslims and an Israeli Anthropologist

Monday, June 6, 2016 | 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM CT
1703 Orrington Ave., Evanston, IL 60201

Israeli anthropologist André Levy will discuss his first book, describing his return to his birthplace in Casablanca and a deeply nuanced and compelling study of the relationships between Moroccan Jews and Muslims there. Ranging over a century of history—from the Jewish Enlightenment and the impending colonialism of the late nineteenth century to today’s modern Arab state—Levy paints a rich portrait of two communities pressed together, of the tremendous mobility that has characterized the past century, and of the paradoxes that complicate the cultural identities of the present.
