Reviews for The Literary Imagination in Israel-Palestine. Orientalism, Poetry, and Biopolitics.
'Attentive to political nuance, Hella Bloom Cohen makes a bold intervention in the current cultural debate surrounding Israel-Palestine, and does so through an innovative theoretical framework. This is an original, rigorous, and brave piece of scholarship.' - Anna Ball, Nottingham Trent University, UK
