[Sephardic Studies Program in the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies, University of Washington] The Jews of Ottoman Izmir: Dina Danon in Conversation with Devin E. Naar
May 5, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm PDT
Drawing extensively on a rich body of previously untapped Ladino archival material,
Danon will offer a new read on Jewish modernity. Through the voices of beggars on the
street and mercantile elites, shoe-shiners and newspaper editors, rabbis and
housewives, this talk will underscore how it was new attitudes to poverty and social
class, not Judaism, that most significantly framed this Sepharadi community’s encounter
with the modern age.
