[SOLUTION] Memoir and Country Research
What am I expecting in your presentation:Memoir: summary with comments. It should follow the country presentation.Country Presentation:Something about the Jews coming to that country and their history. (short)What the community was like during the colonial period. It begins for example, in Morocco is 1912; Tunisia late 19th cebtury; Algeria, 1830, Libya 1911, Egypt 1882, etc.). Their involvement in civic life, Zionism, etc. anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism; A comment about urban/rural Jewish populations (eg. Morocco—Atlas mts=rural/Casblanca=urban; Iraq—Kurds=rural/Baghdad=urban) .I want a taste not a thesis. It is to get your feet wet.Comments on how Europeanization (modernity) affected them? especially religiously? The foreign powers are different. eg. Iraq–English; Syria — French; Libya–Italian. Thus, depending on the country you chose, we will hear differences (eg. speaking French with French education) and the use of Arabic. (Iran=Farsi).What happened in 1948—when State of Israel was created—impact on country and the Jewish population.What were waves of migration leaving country. Where did they go —Israel/other? what numbers. Most of the answers to these questions can be found by searching the internet. I just want some overview—-as I said above, getting your feet wet. You are NOT going into the weeds but I am getting a GPS on your direction. And most importantly, I get to see how you are beginning to dig the soil. (If paper 3-4 pages: 2 pages on background of country and about 2 pages on memoir).The country that I have chosen is Iraq and the memoir that I will be looking at is Last Days in Babylon by Marina Benjamin.
