Scholarship on Moroccan Jews in Canada: Multidisciplinary, Multilingual, and Diasporic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A historiography on Moroccan Jews in Canada (1960–2015) offers an exemplary case study of conducting comprehensive research on religious and ethnic minorities within a Canadian national framework. To find literature on this community, one must take a multinational, multidisciplinary, and multilingual approach. This mirrors the diasporic reality of Moroccan Jews, themselves dispersed from Morocco to Israel, France, Canada, and beyond. Scholarship on Moroccan Jews in Canada must cross the linguistic divides of Quebec and Ontario, as the majority francophone, but also Spanish- and Judeo-Arabic-speaking, population settled predominantly in Montreal followed by Toronto. In an attempt to examine Moroccan Jews as part of Canadian and Quebec history, the authors examined over 130 articles for this study—mostly regarding Moroccan Jews in Montreal, but these also included some key works in Canadian Jewish studies and Quebec studies. In what follows, we analyze the chronology of these works in relation to broader trends in Canadian Jewish studies and Quebec studies. The trends in the growth of studies on Moroccan Jews in Canada have been divided into roughly four overlapping periods: immigration and integration (1960s to 1970s); recognition and rapprochement (1980s); multi-culturalism, interculturalism, and the production of ethnicity (1990s); and memory, identity, and religion (2000s to present).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
