“Across Legal Lines: Jewish and Muslims in Modern Morocco”

Fordham Lincoln Center Campus, Lowenstein 12th Floor Lounge
Across Legal Lines: Jews and Muslims in Modern Morocco, which won the 2017-2018 National Jewish Book Award in Sephardic Culture, and the 2016 Baron Book Prize from the American Academy for Jewish Research, examines Jewish-Muslim relations in Morocco by following the Assarrafs, a Judeo-Morrocan merchant family from Fez. Through a legal lens Jessica Marglin challenges common perceptions of Jewish history, Jewish-Muslim relations, the Middle East, and the nature of legal pluralism. Join us for an evening conversation with Jessica Marglin about her award winning book.
