26 Lewis, B., The Jews of Islam (London, 1984), ch. 4Google Scholar, argues that on the whole, Jewish communities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, unless rescued by colonial rule, suffered rather than benefited from the transformation of traditional society in which they had a traditional place. But even before the colonial period in North Africa, some Jews prospered in an intermediate position between Islam and Europe: see below, n. 32.
