The book describes how a largely European Jewish immigrant society attempted to forge a home in the Mediterranean, and explores the difficulties and challenges of this endeavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eA Place in History\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the growing body of knowledge about Israeli public space in general and urban space in particular... Highly recommended to those who seek a theoretical perspective on Israeli urbanism, or are interested in its ideological roots or its spatial transformations. Though the book focuses on Tel Aviv, in many ways it conveys the broader story of Israeli territorialization. Mann's book could also serve visitors as an excellent critical guide to the city's modern geography and history.\" -- \u003ci\u003eH-Net Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"While her love for Tel Aviv is palpable, Mann maintains a critical distance from her subject, which assures \u003ci\u003eA Place in History\u003c\/i\u003e its own place as an authoritative guide to the complex textualities of Israel's largest urban area.\" -- Tikkun\u003cbr\u003e\"A very important contribution, this book adds a crucial layer to the discussion of the city of Tel Aviv in its local, national, and historical context. I would even venture to claim that it offers the most complex and multi-layered view to date, a Renaissance text in which the author\/flaneuse strolls, researches, interprets, writes, and even makes photographs, all at the same time.\" -- \u003ci\u003eHebrew Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  @toc4:Acknowledgments\tiii  Preface\tiii  @toc2:1\tJews in Space\t000  2\tThe Zionist Uncanny: Reading the Old Cemetery on   Trumpeldor\t000  3\tRothschild Boulevard: When a Street Becomes a Monument  \t000  4\tA View from the Balcony: Public and Private   Spaces\/Public and Private Selves\t000  5\tThe Edge of Town: Depicting the City's Periphery as a   Way of Naming Its Center\t000  6\tRabin Square, Summayl, and the Rhetoric of Walking  \t000  @toc4:  Appendix: Poems Cited in the Original Hebrew\t\tiii  Notes\tiii  Index\tiii","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405559308631,"sku":"9780804750196","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804750196.jpg?v=1730492831","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-place-in-history-9780804750196","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
