This book gathers together her most influential political essays, interviews, speeches, testimonies and memoirs, as well as previously unpublished material. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Defying the binarist and Eurocentric Arab-versus-Jew rendering of the Israeli\/Palestinian conflict, Shohat's work has dared to engage with the deeper historical and cultural questions swirling around colonialism, Orientalism and nationalism. Shohat's paradigm-shifting work unpacks such fraught issues as the anomalies of the national\/colonial in Zionist discourse; the narrating of Jewish pasts in Muslim spaces; the links and distinctions between the dispossession of the Nakba and the dislocation of Arab-Jews; the traumatic memories triggered by partition and border-crossing; the echoes within Islamophobia of the anti-Semitic figure of 'the Jew'; and the efforts to imagine a possible future inter-communal 'convivencia'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shohat's transdisciplinary perspective illuminates the cultural politics in and around the Middle East. Juxtaposing texts of various genres written in divergent contexts, the book offers a vivid sense of the author's intellectual journey.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElla Shohat\u003c\/b\u003e, an Arab-Jew of a Baghdadi family now living in New York, is professor of cultural studies at New York University and the author of \u003ci\u003eIsraeli Cinema: East\/West and the Politics of Representation\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTaboo Memories, Diasporic Voices\u003c\/i\u003e, amongst many other works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 8.9 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484088033587,"sku":"9780745399492","price":47.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/mnYP0xck-t9780745399492.webp?v=1782886304","url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/on-the-arab-jew-palestine-and-other-displacements-selected-writings-of-ella-shohat-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
