Reviews

Transnational Identities seeks to give power to the voices of immigrant ans migrant women artists whose experiences in an ethno-nation state are marked by various degrees of complexity and difficulties. As such, it is a strong addition to the discussion on contemporary life in Israel today, particularly the diverse stories of women migrants and their art. If anything, the book left me wanting to discover and enjoy more artworks by these pioneering women.
