IKWISH STUDIKS/l.ITF.RARY STUDIES
The writings of Jacqueline Shohet Kahanoff
(1917-79)
offer a refreshing reassessment
of Arab-Jewish relations in the Middle East
—
a
past of coexistence and the possibility for a future
of mutual respect and acceptance. Kahanoff
grew up in cosmopolitan Egypt, a member of
the bourgeois Jewish community in Cairo. She
spent the years of World War II in New York
City, where she launched her writing career with
publications in prominent American journals,
including the Atlantic Monthly
settled in Israel, where she became a noted
cultural and literary critic.
KahanorPs essays and works of fiction
anticipate contemporary concerns about cultural
integration in immigrant societies. Confronted
with the breakdown of cosmopolitan Egyptian
society and the stereotypes she encountered as a
Jew from the Arab world, she developed a social
model, Levantinism, that embraces the idea of a
pluralist, multicultural society and runs counter
to the prevailing attitudes and identity politics
throughout the Middle East. KahanorPs ideas
continue to have a significant impact on writers
and scholars in Israel and beyond. Mongrels or
Marvels offers KahanorPs most influential and
engaging writings, focusing on the development
of the concept of Levantinism in her work.
Kahanoff wrote in English, but the majority
of her work has only been published in Hebrew
translation. This is the first anthology of
KahanorPs work in its original language.
Deborah a. starr is Associate Professor of
Modern Arabic and Hebrew Literature and Film
in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at
Cornell University and the Director of Cornell's
Program of Jewish Studies.
SASSON SOMEKH is Professor Emeritus of'Arabic
Literature at Tel Aviv University, where he held the
Halmos
Chair of Arabic Literature.
