Description: A vivid, intellectual journey through the works of the renowned writer
Brief description:
Ella Shohat is a ground-breaking cultural critic, contributing to changing the discourse on colonialism, feminism and representations of the Middle East. Teaching Cultural Studies and of Middle Eastern Studies at New York University, her writing unsettles the boundaries between the 'West and the Rest'. Among her many books are Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices (Duke University Press, 2006), Israeli Cinema (IB Tauris, 2010) and her collected writings On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements (Pluto, 2017).
Review Quotes: "Shohat's writings have a breadth that is sadly lacking in the left academy today, where most Marxist or radical academics don't stray far from their narrow scholastic concentration. . . . A profoundly important collection." -- "Counterpunch"
