The Dhimmi

Enlarge text Shrink text

The oppression of Jews under Islamic rule is based on an archetypal relationship established at the time of the Muslim conquest - the "victor-vanquished relationship", expressed in the status of the dhimmi, the inferior non-Muslim. Pts. 1-2 (pp. 43-157) consist of a historical outline of the Jews' status under Islam and a description of modern formulations of this dhimmi status, its place in Arab nationalism, and its psychological effects on Oriental Jews. The rest of the book consists of documents reflecting persecution and oppression of the Jews in various Islamic countries from the time of Muhammad up to the present day. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
