abstract = {After an overview of the historiography of North African Jews, the article presents Dario Miccoli’s bookHistories of the Jews of Egypt: An Imagined Bourgeoisie, 1880s-1950s, published in 2015. In this recent study, the author proposes an interesting thesis on the construction of the collective identity of Egyptian Jews in line with the “bourgeoisie” reference model, idealized regardless of the objective reality of their economic condition. Based on archival and literary sources of the time, individual trajectories and social practices, but also social, political and cultural broader contexts are analyzed to outline the construction of this unique collective imagination that has survived in the diaspora.},
