Reviews

After two decades of exciting debate, the theory of diaspora studies is now in gridlock and in need of new interventions. This is such an intervention-a strong and exhilarating book. -Khachig Tololyan, Wesleyan University Daniel Boyarin demolishes the long-standing notion that diaspora was born out of despair and sorrow. A highly erudite, suggestive, and provocative study on the concept of diaspora, and the Jewish diaspora in particular. -Oded Irshai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
