I'm extremely honored by this award, and I choose to take it as a sign of hope that the book award named after Albert Hourani has been awarded to a book about a Jew from Tunis. The Middle East and North Africa is never only what we see on the news today.

The #MESA2023 Albert Hourani Book Award Co-winner is Jessica M. Marglin for “The Shamama Case: Contesting Citizenship across the Modern Mediterranean” (Princeton University Press).

In 1873, Nissim Shamama, a Tunisian Jew born in the Ottoman Empire, died suddenly at his palazzo in Livorno. A decade-long international dispute over his vast inheritance ensued. In 'The Shamama Case', Jessica Marglin investigates nationality on trial 👇https://t.co/CUiI2RvDUu

Thank you @JonathanChaloff for demonstrating that The Shamama Case has relevance to citizenship today!

If you live in LA, identify as Muslim or Jewish, and want to take a deep dive into one of the most hopeful and resillient communities, I hope you'll consider applying to NewGround's Professional Fellowship. Deadline is Sept. 8. @IrMiklat @shacoho https://t.co/KxHK20c0TV

The story of the liberation of North Africa from fascist rule has been told by the region’s elite. Most North & West African victims like Al-gedari have never had their testimonies systematically collected or heard.
