Ofra Tirosh-Becker | “From the Four Corners of the World: Judeo-Arabic Journalism in 19th-20th Century North Africa”

Jewish journalism thrived in the Jewish communities of North Africa from the second half of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. This talk will focus on the evolution of Jewish journals during this period, the languages employed, their cultural setting, and the breadth and scope of their content.
