About this person

Jacqueline Shohet Kahanoff was an Egyptian-born Israeli novelist, essayist and journalist. Kahanoff wrote in English, although she is best known for a cycle of essays, “A Generation of Levantines,” that was published in Israel in Hebrew translation in 1959. These pieces lay out her notion of “Levantinism,” a social model of coexistence drawn from her childhood experiences in Egyptian cosmopolitan society in the interwar period.
