- This book required six years of research and extensive exploration of unpublished sources, including diaries and letters, from private, national and imperial archives in Israel, Britain, Spain and the US. Its multiple components required different methodologies (literary theory, cultural history, network theory). Shedding new light on the history of Palestine and modern Jewish history, it restores an essential element of modern Hebrew and Arabic literatures—the first Hebrew-Arabic literary circle—which remains overlooked in literary historiography. It contributes to growing interest in Arab-Jewish and Middle Eastern Jewish history, and broadens the scope of “Jewish studies” beyond the European Jewish experience.

- English abstract
- Against the background of the tumultuous political and social events at the turn of the twentieth century in Palestine, this book explores the ways in which Arab-Jewish intellectuals fundamentally challenged the nationalistic and monolingual separatist ideologies that characterized their times, and proposed an alternative political and cultural route. It looks at their efforts to establish a shared Jewish-Arab society based on a symbolic return to the Sephardi/Andalusian medieval legacy of Hebrew-Arabic bilingualism and a Judeo-Muslim joint cultural heritage. <br/><br/>
