Salem is a fascinating personality who I've been researching, on and off, for almost a quarter of century since meeting his son Gamaliel and the late S.S. Koder, associated with Salem in some of his activities, in 1988. My article on him (Nationalism, religion and community: A. B. Salem, the politics of identity and the disappearance of Cochin Jewry) is in the Journal of Global History, Vol. 3, no. 1 (March 2008), accessible via the journal's website (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=1859700). I've also put the main details of his life and career in the Wikipedia entry on Salem - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Barak_Salem. My book on the subject is soon to be published by Zed Press in the UK. Thank you Thoufeek for adding some of this to your interesting blog (and for posting the photos).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630613061286528235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074791552575994852.post-76305821145679328892012-08-25T04:06:31.954-07:002012-08-25T04:06:31.954-07:00A.B.

Salem is a fascinating personality and I've been researching his career, on and off, for nearly a quarter of a century after meeting his son Gamaliel and his old associate, the late S.S. Koder, in 1988. My article on Salem ( Nationalism, religion and community: A. B. Salem, the politics of identity and the disappearance of Cochin Jewry) is in the Journal of Global History, vol.3, issue 1, March 2008, and can be accessed online - http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=1859700&fulltextType=RA&fileId=S1740022808002428. It is also the subject of a book of mine soon to be published by Zed Press in the UK.

I have a copy if you are interested. Also "Ruby of Cochin" by Barbara Johnson has quite a few details about the antecedents of A B Salem, including a family tree. On 17 Nov 2011 his great grandson (male line) will be getting married in Israel.
