Beschreibung:
Smadar Lavie is a Scholar-in-Residence at the Beatrice Bain Research Group, UC Berkeley, specializing in the anthropology of Egypt, the State of Israel, and Palestine, with emphasis on issues of race, gender, and religion. She is the author of The Poetics of Military Occupation (University of California Press), which won a 1990 Honorable Mention of the Victor Turner Award for Ethnographic Writing. She is also the co-editor of Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity (Duke UP 1996), winner of the American Studies Association's 2009 Gloria Anzaldua Prize, and of the 2013 "Heart at East" Honor Plaque for lifetime service to Mizrahi communities in the State of Israel.
Lavie's work marks the first English-language ethnography... on single motherhood outside North America. As well, it is the first ethnography to explore the complex interplay between gender, race, and bureaucracy in the Middle East.... a must read. Suad Joseph, University of California, Davis
