SUMMARY:Exclusive Authors Series with Judith Roumani
DESCRIPTION:The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nExclusive Authors Series with Judith Roumani\nJoin us for this episode of our Exclusive Authors Series with Judith Roumani discussing her new book “Francophone Sephardic Fiction: Writing Migration\, Diaspora\, and Modernity.” \nTuesday\, 25 October at 12:00PM EST\n(Complimentary RSVP) \nAbout the book:\n“Francophone Sephardic Fiction” approaches modern Sephardic literature in a comparative way to draw out similarities and differences among selected francophone novelists from various countries\, with a focus on North Africa. The definition of Sepharad here is broader than just Spain: it embraces Jews whose ancestors had lived in North Africa for centuries\, even before the arrival of Islam\, and who still today trace their allegiance to ways of being Jewish that go back to Babylon\, as do those whose ancestors spent a few hundred years in Iberia. The author traces the strong influence of oral storytelling on modern novelists of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and explores the idea of the portable homeland\, as exile and migration engulfed the long-rooted Sephardic communities. \nAbout the author:\nJudith Roumani is founder and director of the Jewish Institute of Pitigliano\, and founder and editor of the online journal Sephardic Horizons\, which appears three times a year (https://www.sephardichorizons.org). She received a BA Honors in Spanish and French from the University of Nottingham\, an MA in Latin American Studies from the University of London\, and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Rutgers. She has taught Spanish and Sephardic studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and other colleges in the Washington DC area. She has also been a director of publications\, professional translator\, an associate ditor or author of five books and a monograph\, and her work has been translated into Hebrew\, Italian\, and French. \nFor more about the book: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793620101/Francophone-Sephardic-Fiction-Writing-Migration-Diaspora-and-Modernity \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
