Reviews
This rigorously researched book highlights the common roots of antisemitism and Islamophobia in an ethically nuanced manner while broadening the discussion of Muslim-Jewish relations to areas outside of the Perso-Arabic context. Highly readable and relevant far outside the domains of inquiry with which it engages directly, this volume's impact is sure to be felt both inside and outside of academia. * Nathan P. Devir, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies *
This is a groundbreaking work. As well as being an original ethnographic study of the Jews and Muslims of South Asia, it also illuminates the politics of Muslim-Jewish relations across the globe, while shedding new light on antisemitism and Islamophobia. The descriptions of people and events are absorbing, the analysis clear and compelling - which makes this book as accessible to the general reader as it is indispensable to the specialist. * Brian Klug, author of Being Jewish and Doing Justice *
Charting the role of the British period in constructing and sedimenting the boundaries of Jewish and Muslim alterities in South Asia, the author offers an unrivalled insight into interconnected Jewish-Muslim imageries through which we also need to revise European framings. * Nasar Meer, editor of Racialization and Religion (2013) *
Yulia Egorova's fascinating book on Muslims and Jews in South Asia challenges us to think in new ways about Islamophobia, antisemitism, and Muslim-Jewish relations as a single, deeply enmeshed field. * James Renton, co-editor of Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe: A Shared Story? (2017) *
