Euro-Jews and Afro-Arabs cover

The impact of European and Semitic peoples upon world civilization and African history is addressed in this scholarly study. The Jewish wing of the Semitic people converged with the Western world; the Arab wing of the Semites converged with Africa. The three Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have confronted the racial divide between Caucasian people and people of color. This book explores the geographical regions of Africa, the Middle East, and the Western world in the context of fragile structures and resilient cultures.

It is...of considerable value to those who wish to understand better the historical trends and appreciate the respective places of Euro-Jews and Afro-Arabs in history and geography....Recommended. * CHOICE, November 2008 *
