- Synopsis
- The book reminds us there was a time in history when there was no anti-Semitism. Its virulent strain only broke out in the terrible race riot in Alexandria of 38 CE, when the Romans were already ruling the city and the Jews and the Egyptians were vying for their favor--and their jobs. The author explores the lives of these Jews, the obstacles they encountered, the institutions they established, and their strategies for adjustment. He also delves into Jewish writing in this period.
