With eloquence and erudition, she draws on the deepest knowledge of the history of art and aesthetics, literary theory, history of philosophy, and the widest possibilities of Frankfurt-inclined critical theory. * Geoff Eley, Karl Pohrt Distinguished University Professor of Contemporary History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIn beautifully evocative prose, the author offers the fresh voice of a cultural geographer to the analysis of secular Jewish thought. In doing so, Dubow gifts us with a genuinely novel approach to the dialectics of secularism and theology. This book opens our understanding of the space that exile can carve out for intellectual creativity. * Scott Spector, Rudolf Mrázek Professor of History and German Studies, University of Michigan, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Exile at the Origin   Chapter 1 – “A Patch of Ground Between   Four Tent Pegs” Chapter 2 – The Second Commandment in the   Second Empire Chapter 3 – Liberal Pluralism and the   Mourning Work of Assimilation Chapter 4 – ‘Wherever you go you will be   a polis”: Hannah Arendt via Rahel Varnhagen Chapter 5 – Posthumous Place: W.G.
