Extract
The process called by Karaite Jews from Cairo “Our twentieth century exodus” (El-Kodsi 1987: 294) was an extreme case of a refugee movement which culminated in the near-total displacement of an entire ethnic-religious community from its most important center. Throughout the ensuing process of individual resettlement and communal reorganization traditional music has played a significant role. This essay will consider the specific conditions both affecting music and affected by music throughout a generation of refugee movement.
