基本説明

Full Description


This history of one woman's family should strike a chord with those who have experienced exile and displacement. Julia Kristeva's foreword unearths a political intention in this carefully crafted story. One of the undercurrents in "The House of Jacob", she notes, seems to be an implied criticism of the language policies of the State of Israel, in particular th e imposition of the "sacred" language of Hebrew as a medium of everyday exchange, of domesticity, and of intimacy. Courtine-Denamy presents Sephardic culture as a counterpoint to the perceived prevalence of Ashkenazi culture in forming Jewish identity.
