Jewish Portraits, Indian Frames: Women's Narratives from a Diaspora of Hope Silliman Jael
Reveals the forgotten history of Baghdadi Jews' journey into India through the stories of four generations of Jewish women.An invaluable cultural document shaped from personal experience, Jewish Portraits, Indian Frames explores the fascinating social and cultural history of Baghdadi Jewish women in Calcutta, India. She shows us how they negotiated multiple identities, including that of emergent Indian nationalism, and how they perceived and shaped their Jewishness and gender in response to changing cultural and political contexts. Through the lives of her foremothers over four generations, Jael Silliman discovers how they "dwelled in travelling" despite being widely dispersed across Asia, which created a moving geography of Baghdadi Jewish culture.
She also traces the trajectory of a Jewish presence in one of the most hospitable cities of the diaspora.These
