Session Submission Type: Panel Session
This panel presents how different wars, spurred by Nationalism, affected Sephardim/Mizrahim and their ideas. Two of the papers discuss how WWI (one of the themes for the division this year given the 100 commemoration of WWI's beginning) set in motion events that influenced Sephardim/Mizrahim and their ideas and experiences in Israel and in their countries of origin. One paper focuses on how Jewish and Arab nationalisms post 1948 resulted in the migration of Arab Jews to Israel and studies the uses of the term "refugee" to describe them.
