Ankawa's networks spanned various Maghribi states, especially Morocco (his birthplace and the focus of much of his scholarship) and Algeria (where he made his career as a rabbi), extending east to Jerusalem and north to Livorno and France. The fundamentally transimperial nature of his personal and professional ties cannot be explained through the national historiographies of Morocco or Algeria, the most typical categories assigned to Maghribi Jews like him. Nor were his diverse networks based only on his Sephardi identity. Understanding Ankawa's trajectory through a Mediterranean lens offers a window onto the process of Mediterranean modernization as an encounter between older, transregional forms of connectivity and the new political and legal institutions of European colonialism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Jewish Social Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
