Description
A Place in History is a cultural study of Tel Aviv, Israel's population center, established in 1909.
It describes how a largely European Jewish immigrant society attempted to forge a home in the Mediterranean, and explores the role of memory and diaspora in the creation of a new national culture.
Each chapter is devoted to a particular place in the city that has been central to its history, and includes literary, artistic, journalistic, and photographic material relating to that site. This is the first book-length study of Tel Aviv in English.
It will appeal to readers interested in urban cultures, the contemporary Middle East, modern Jewish history, and Israeli literature.
It also contributes to the ongoing public debate about memory, memorials and urban identity.
