In a very good condition. ~ First and only edition. Selig Schachnowitz 1874-1952 noted neo-Orthodox journalist and writer. In 1908 at the invitation of Agudat Israel in Germany he became editor of Der Israelit a post he held for 30 years until the journal was closed down by the Nazis in 1938. He escaped to Switzerland taking up residence in Zurich where he continued his public and literary work until his death. Following a visit to Israel in 1931 he wrote "Zwischen Ruinen und Aufbau in Erez-Israel" which praised agricultural settlement and expressed strong reservations about the lack of religious observance in the new Israel. He was a prolific writer and although his various publicistic works were of a religious propagandist nature many were of a high literary standard and attracted numerous readers.

1997MS-44Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1997. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 the sight of tens of thousands of non-Kuwaiti Arabs Indians East Asians and Westerners fleeing or trapped under occupation made the outside world suddenly aware of a singular fact of Kuwaiti societythat Kuwaitis are an absolute minority in their own country. Basing her analysis on extensive fieldwork and archival research the author examines the social dimension of labor migration to Kuwait since independence in 1961 exploring how the presence of over one million foreign workers has influenced the way Kuwaitis organize their lives and perceive themselves. In particular Longva looks at the relations between two sharply differentiated social categories and the politics of exclusion that have allowed Kuwaitis to protect their rights and privileges as citizens against infringement by the huge influx of expatriates. Longva examines the little-studied system of kafala or sponsorship under which all foreign workers enter and reside in the country showing how it has become the most critical source of power for native Kuwaitis vis-à-vis immigrants. She also addresses aspects of ethnicity and class describes the life of expatriates and looks at developments in gender relations and the role of women in building the national identity in the context of migration and modernization. 266 pgs.
