Description
Résumé:Part ethnography, part history, and part memoir, this volume chronicles the complex past and dynamic present of an ancient Mizrahi community. While intimately tied to the Central Asian landscape, the Jews of Bukhara have also maintained deep connections to the wider Jewish world. As the community began to disperse after the fall of the Soviet Union, the author traveled to Uzbekistan to document Jewish life before it disappeared. Drawing on ethnographic research there, as well as among immigrants to the US and Israel, the author tells an intimate and personal story about what it means to be Bukharan Jewish.
