{"product_id":"jewish-migration-and-the-archive-james-jordan-9781138098947","title":"Jewish Migration and the Archive","description":"\u003cp\u003eMigration is, and has always been, a disruptive experience. Freedom from oppression and hope for a better life are counter-balanced by feelings of loss - loss of family members, of a home, of personal belongings. Memories of the migration process itself often fade quickly away in view of the new challenges that await immigrants in their new homelands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume asks, and shows, how migration memories have been kept, stored, forgotten, and indeed retrieved in many different archives, in official institutions, and in heritage centres, as well as in personal and family collections. Based on a variety of examples and conceptual approaches - from artistic approaches to the family archive via 'smell and memory as archives', to a cultural history of the suitcase - this volume offers a new and original way to write Jewish history and the history of Jewish migration in the context of personal and public memory. The documents reflect the transitory character of the migration experience, and they tell stories of longing and belonging. This book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eJewish Culture and History.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Jordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138098949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138098947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"James Jordan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438145908991,"sku":"9781138098947","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab36df8c-0a64-417c-ba5e-94acb213d489.jpg?v=1777169126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-migration-and-the-archive-james-jordan-9781138098947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
