In Arab-Jewish Literature: The Birth and Demise of the Arabic Short Story, Reuven Snir offers an account of the emergence of the art of the Arabic short story among the Arabized Jews during the 1920s, especially in Iraq and Egypt, its development in the next two decades, until the emigration to Israel after 1948, and the efforts to continue the literary writing in Israeli society, the shift to Hebrew, and its current demise. The stories discussed in the book reflect the various stages of the development of Arab-Jewish identity during the twentieth century and are studied in the relevant updated theoretical and literary contexts. An anthology of sixteen translated stories is also included as an appendix to the book. "Highly recommended for academic libraries collecting in the areas of Arab-Jewish cultural history, diaspora and exile studies, and literary identity formations." - Dr. Yaffa Weisman, Los Angeles, in: Association of Jewish Libraries News and Reviews 1.2 (2019)
Jewish Arabic Literature, one of Steinschneider's few publications in English, offers a study of Jewish Arabic Literature. The first part of this work addresses itself to an encyclopedic approach to bibliography. Steinschneider provides an entry for each proper name. The introductory portion of this part of the work is a masterful study of Jewish names as they may be found in Arabic Literature. The second part of this study concerns itself with the history and context of the Jewish experience in the Arabic-speaking world. This part contains informed discussions of such topics as the use of Arabic amongst the Jews; the status of Jews and Christians under Islamic Law; and, Jewish awareness of different genres of Arabic Literature.Noteworthy is the discussion here of the sciences: medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and so on. Throughout, Steinschneider's thorough understanding of the Arabic literary tradition, informs his discussion of its Jewish element. His use of the word 'antisemitic' (in 1860) to refer to Ernest Renan's discussion of the Semitic and Aryan races may be the first appearance of that word in print.
Helping Jews understand Islam--a reasoned and candid view

Special interest is devoted to the four main poets of the Hebrew Golden Age in Spain, namely Samuel Ha-Nagid, Solomon Ibn Gabirol, Moses Ibn Ezra and Yehuda Ha-Lewi.
Originally published in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic Literature in Tunisia, 1850–1950 will be welcomed by English-speaking scholars interested in the literature and culture of this period.
A classified bibliographic resource for tracing the history of Jewish translation activity from the Middle Ages to the present day, providing the researcher with over a thousand entries devoted solely to the Jewish role in the east-to-west transmission of Greek and Arab learning and science into Latin or Hebrew. Other major sections extend the coverage to modern times, taking special note of the absorption of European literature into the Jewish cultural orbit via Hebrew, Yiddish, or Judezmo translations, for instance, or the translation and reception of Jewish literature written in Jewish languages into other languages such as Arabic, English, French, German, or Russian. This polyglot bibliography, the first of its kind, contains over 2,600 entries, is enhanced by a vast number of additional bibliographic notes leading to reviews and related resources, and is accompanied by both an author and a subject index.
