Several chapters in French. Page 43/44 folded with pencil erasure residue. This was published in conjunction with the International Ce…nter for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization. Jane S. Gerber is a professor of Jewish history and director of the Institute for Sephardic Studies at the City University of New York. Gerber teaches classes in Classics, History, and M.A. Liberal Studies in the Center of Jewish Studies at the City University of New York, specializing in Sephardic history. She is director of the Institute for Sephardic Studies. She is the author of Jewish Society in Fez, the award-winning The Jews of Spain, and Sephardic Studies in the University. She is past president of the Association for Jewish Studies and vice president of the American Society for Sephardic Studies. The teaching of Sephardic civilization was incomplete and Eurocentric, with the Jews of Islam, an ongoing entity for over a thousand years, scarcely figuring in any course offerings. Sephardic Studies in the University provides indispensable teaching aids for the introduction of Sephardic Studies, the newest branch of Jewish Studies, into the university curriculum. Internationally recognized experts in several disciplines from the United States, Canada, France, and Israel contribute bibliographical essays, university course syllabi, and teaching suggestions based upon their individual approaches to teaching the civilization of the Jews of Spain and the Muslim world in medieval and modern times. Teachers and students of Jewish civilization, Spanish history, and the Jewish-Muslim encounter will welcome this timely collaborative project of the International Center for the University teaching of Jewish Civilization and the Institute for Sephardic Studies of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
