Description: In A Traveling Homeland, Daniel Boyarin makes the case that the Babylonian Talmud is a diasporist manifesto producing and defining the practices that constitute Jewish diasporic identity in the form of textual, interpretive communities built around talmudic study.

Review Quotes: "After two decades of exciting debate, the theory of diaspora studies is now in gridlock and in need of new interventions. This is such an intervention-a strong and exhilarating book."-- "Khachig Tölölyan, Wesleyan University"
