Fascinating history of an oppressed Jewish community.,
By jaa43 (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jadid Al-Islam: The Jewish "New Muslims" of Meshhed (Jewish Folklore and Anthropology Series) (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Patai does a phenomenal job in depicting the events of the forced conversion to Islam of a small Jewish community in Mashaad, Iran. Anyone interested in anthropology or history should read this book. What makes this community of marranos unique, unlike any other forced converts, is that the community returned to its original faith after several generations. The strength of this community is apparent in their struggle to maintain their heritage and religion in secret, under the shadow of the sword.
