“Nina Lichtenstein’s book should be required reading in all Modern Jewish History courses because it fills the gap created by our almost exclusive emphasis on Ashkenazi history...A masterpiece!” — Shulamit Reinharz, Jacob Potofsky Professor of Sociology and Founder/Director Hadassah-Brandeis Institute and the Women’s Studies Research Center, Brandeis University. Author of One Hundred Years of Kibbutz Life and twelve other books. "This is a groundbreaking work which brings to the attention of the English-reading public the important creative work of Jewish women authors of North African origin in France since decolonization. Nina Lichtenstein masterfully provides valuable historical background and cultural contextualization together with insightful literary analysis. Her engaging and often lyric style is at once both intimately conversational and academically intellectual." — Norman A. Stillman, Schusterman-Josey Professor of Judaic History Emeritus, University of Oklahoma. Author of The Jews of Arab Lands and Jews in Arab Lands in Modern Times. Ron D. Hart, Editor www.gaonbooks.com <http://www.gaonbooks.com/> Thank you for your attention to this.
