The Jews of the British Crown Colony of Aden: History, Culture, and Ethnic Relations (Brill's Series in Jewish Studies, Vol 12) Reuben Ahroni

This volume focuses on the Jewish community of the British Crown Colony of Aden, a community which is mistakenly associated with Yemenite Jewry. The text provides a critical assessment of its history; covers dimensions of its socioeconomic, cultural and intellectual fabric; and provides insights into the unique quintessential traits that determine the place of the Jewish community of Aden as a cultural and spiritual phenomenon within Yemenite and world Jewry. The text also provides a glimpse into the relationship between Jews and Muslims in Aden.
