Description for Multiculturalism in Israel: Literary Perspectives (Shofar Supplements in Jewish Studies)
Paperback. This book explores the literary traditions of four different cultural groups within Israeli society (Palestinians, Mizrahim, Russian-and Ethiopian-Israelis) to illustrate the diversity within a literary arena, commonly portrayed with a homogeneous narrative. Num Pages: 366 pages. BIC Classification: DSB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 226 x 152 x 23. Weight in Grams: 590.

Drawing on a wide body of social and literary theory, Mendelson-Maoz compares and contrasts the literatures of the four communities she profiles. ... Read more
