Through comparative discussion of the literatures of Palestinian citizens of Israel, of Mizrahim, of migrants from the former Soviet Union, and of Ethiopian-Israelis, the author demonstrates an unexpected richness and diversity in the Israeli literary scene, a reality very different from the monocultural image that Zionism aspired to create. Drawing on a wide body of social and literary theory, Mendelson-Maoz compares and contrasts the literatures of the four communities she profiles. The picture that emerges from this groundbreaking book replaces the traditional, homogeneous historical narrative of Israeli literature with a diversity of voices, a multiplicity of origins, and a wide range of different perspectives. In doing so, it will provoke researchers in a wide range of cultural fields to look at the rich traditions that underlie it in new and fresh ways"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "By analyzing its position within the struggles for recognition and reception of different national and ethnic cultural groups, this book offers a bold new picture of Israeli literature.

Drawing on a wide body of social and literary theory, Mendelson-Maoz compares and contrasts the literatures of the four communities she profiles. In her discussion of the literature of the Palestinian citizens of Israel, she presents the question of language and translation, and she provides three case studies of particular authors and their reception. Her study of Mizrahi literature adopts a chronological approach, starting in the 1950s and proceeding toward contemporary Mizrahi writing, while discussing questions of authenticity and self-determination. The discussion of Israeli literature written by immigrants from the former Soviet Union focuses both on authors who write Israeli literature in Russian and of Russian immigrants writing in Hebrew. The final section of the book provides a valuable new discussion of the work of Ethiopian-Israeli writers, a group whose contributions have seldom been previously acknowledged"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 313-348) and index. 505 0 $a The literature of Palestinian citizens of Israel, literature of boundaries -- Ana min al-Yahud: Mizrahi literature and the question of space authenticity -- The aristocrat and her handmaid: Russian-Israeli literature and the question of language -- The road to Jerusalem, the search for Zion: the literature of Ethiopian-Israelis. 650 0 $a Israeli literature $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104983 650 0 $a Multiculturalism in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh96003225 650 0 $a National characteristics, Israeli, in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009000066 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Israel $x History. 650 0 $a Ethnic groups in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94004076 650 0 $a Minorities in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85085827 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Middle Eastern. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Jewish. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Ethnic groups in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915988 650 7 $a Israeli literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980335 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Minorities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023274 650 7 $a Multiculturalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028865 650 7 $a National characteristics, Israeli, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904041 651 7 $a Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204236 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Shofar supplements in Jewish studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005073308 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017030008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=08A6D914F1E711E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
