Recensioner i media

Highly Recommended.(Igeret: The Newsletter of the National Association of Professors of Hebrew) Kimchi's excellently researched and argued work responds to several significant historiographical trends, beginning with postcolonial theory, including the work of Ella Shohat and Homi Bhabha as he notes. This type of transcendence could help develop a new era in Jewish Studies in which porous boundaries are not made impermeable and colonial constructs are not reified in the goals and conclusions of scholarship.- Jessica Carr –Lafayette College, Easton Pennsylvania (Sephardic Horizons)
