FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In the light of the Israeli governments plan to halt Ethiopian immigration into Israel, this book provides the results of original research into the transformation of the Falashas to Ethiopian Jews during the 20th century which subsequently made them eligible for immigration into Israel. Additionally, at a time when the question of Who is a Jew is being discussed in Israeli religious and poltical circles and Jewish communities around the world, the book adds a new dimension to the argument, namely the case of the manufactured Jew.

This book, which is based on original documentation and interviews, will fill the gap in the literature on this fascinating and under-researched group of people Back Cover In the light of the Israeli governments plan to halt Ethiopian immigration, this book provides original research into the transformation of the Falashas to Ethiopian Jews during the Author Biography Daniel Summerfield Table of Contents 1.
