“Salameh’s writing is accessible and informative … . Bringing together studies like Salameh’s with the now wealth of studies on Jews in distinct Middle Eastern countries, using a comparative approach, may greatly enrich our understanding of this important topic.” (Caroline Kahlenberg, Bustan: The Middle East Book Review, Vol. 10 (2), 2019)
