Review'Space and Place in Jewish Studies is a valuable introduction to the roles that locations, real and imagined, have played in Jewish historical experiences, literary and artistic works, and scholarship.' Sh'ma: A Journal of Jewish ResponsibilityProduct DescriptionScholars in the humanities have become increasingly interested in questions of how space is produced and perceivedand they have found that this consideration of human geography greatly enriches our understanding of cultural history. This spatial turn equally has the potential to revolutionize Jewish Studies, complicating familiar notions of Jews as people of the Book, displaced persons with only a common religious tradition and history to unite them.Space and Place in Jewish Studies embraces these exciting critical developments by investigating what space has meant within Jewish culture and traditionand how notions of Jewish space, diaspora, and home continue to resonate within contemporary discourse, bringing space to the foreground as a practical and analytical category. Barbara Mann takes us on a journey from medieval Levantine trade routes to the Eastern European shtetl to the streets of contemporary New York, introducing readers to the variety of ways in which Jews have historically formed communities and created a sense of place for themselves. Combining cuttingedge theory with rabbinics, anthropology, and literary analysis, Mann offers a fresh take on the Jewish experience.About the AuthorBARBARA E.

She is the author of A Place in History: Modernism, Tel Aviv, and the Creation of Jewish Urban Space and coeditor inchief of Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History.
