Moroccan Jews in France and Canada offers a groundbreaking exploration of the post-colonial migrations of Moroccan Jews to France and Canada. Yolande Cohen, herself a migrant, and her collaborators draw on vivid oral histories to uncover the emotional journeys of departure and exile. Why did Moroccan Jews leave? When and how did this migration unfold?

After the establishment of Israel and the Palestinian-Israeli wars, most Moroccan Jews migrated to Israel. Yet a significant minority, more westernized, settled in France and Canada, supported by transnational Jewish organizations.

In Montreal, a city with a strong multi-ethnic Jewish community, French language became crucial for integration. By tracing these journeys and analyzing the language of exile, Moroccan Jews in France and Canada reveals the deep traumas underlying this historic migration.

A powerful and essential account shedding light on a little-known diaspora and its complex legacy.

The English and French version of this title, though distinct, complement each other to offer a more comprehensive look at the topic.
