Abstract:
This chapter introduces the structure of the book, its focus and uniqueness. It then discusses the methodological obstacles embedded in the defintion of a “community” and “Jews” and goes on to present the ten main questions and lines of investigation that guide the book. In its final part, this chapter presents the book’s five sections, along with the history of each major region in Asia, its Jewish communities and a short summary of the relevant chapters.
