A history of modern Jewish literature that explores our enduring attachment to the book as an object

A Place in History is a cultural study of Tel Aviv, Israel's population center and one of the original settlements, established in 1909. 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.

Investigates what "space" has meant within Jewish culture and tradition; and how notions of Jewish space, diaspora, and home continue to resonate within contemporary discourse.
