There's also <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Middle-Eastern-Jewish-Thought/dp/1584658851" rel="nofollow">good anthology on late 19th through mid-20th century Mizrahi political thought co-edited by Moshe Behar</a>; I think his work generally is excellent. Finally, for an example of contemporary Mizrahi work by someone who is on anti-Zionist left, <a href="https://berkeley.academia.edu/SmadarLavie" rel="nofollow">Smadar Lavie</a> is a big name.David Schraubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946653376744012423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-55494436883874571812016-08-13T20:08:51.993-07:002016-08-13T20:08:51.993-07:00David, do you have any good sources of Mizrahi Jew...David, do you have any good sources of Mizrahi Jews writing about Mizrahi issues? Most stuff I've found is by Ashkenazim.

Like the now certainty that anti-Yemenite racism led to systemic kidnapping of children to be given to Ashkenazi parents to be raised. Let's be honest - the Ashkenazi left had years and years to lead Israel to the place they thought it should become and time after time they miscalculated, committed unforgivable moral sins, and wrapped themselves in the unearned glow of their self-righteous superiority. The Charedi and Mizrahi communities are in the midst of taking over Israel and Bibi's Likud government is really just a transition gov between these two stages. Israel will be less Western, more religious, and more right-wing in the future. Everything else is just commentary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
