Before the Second World War two golden promised lands beckoned the thousands of Baghdadi Jews who lived in Southeast Asia: the British empire, on which "the sun never set," and the promised land of their religious tradition, Jerusalem. Almost Englishmen studies the less well-known of these destinations. The book combines history and cultural studies to look into a significant yet relatively unknown period.
