On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements by Ella Shohat

A vivid, intellectual journey through the works of the renowned writer

'A scholar of unique range, learning, and originality'

-- Jacqueline Rose, author of The Last Resistance (Verso, 2007)

'Authoritative, knowledgeable, and fascinating.. an essential addition to understanding the nature of Israel and the conflict its establishment has created, not just for Palestinians but also for the Mizrahi or 'Arab Jews'. Poignant and thought-provoking'

-- Ghada Karmi, author of Return: A Palestinian Memoir (Verso, 2015)

'In this rich and wide-ranging collection, Ella Shohat demonstrates subtlety, imagination, and the potential of engaged writing. Although it probes many aspects of loss and dislocation, this work is sustained, in the end, by a profound sense of hope'

-- Ahdaf Soueif, author of Cairo: Memoir of a City Transformed (Bloomsbury, 2014)

'Ella Shohat is a gifted cultural critic who writes about complex issues with great clarity, wisdom, and insight. In this collection of essays she tackles a wide range of Middle Eastern topics from a refreshingly original and radical perspective. She is a wrecking-ball of Zionist orthodoxies'

-- Avi Shlaim, author of The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World

'The volume is so rich in content and perspective on the changing patterns of ethnicity and its interaction with historical circumstance that I hardly know where to begin ... A genuine and enduring achievement.'

-- Peace News

'[A] profoundly important collection ... of enormous importance in understanding not only the tragedy of the post-1947 “population exchange” but the ethnic conflicts tearing apart the Middle East and North Africa today'

-- Counterpunch
