Reviews

This book raises the bar for academic works about Jewish material culture. It is thoughtful and thorough in layout, method, and analysis ... In addition, Carr offers an elegant introduction to the methodology of visual culture, making this book more accessible to readers unfamiliar with the field. - American Jewish Archives Journal
