Based on varied, diverse, and abundantly cross-disciplinary readings, it moves and builds, questions and interrogates, and ultimately convinces us that the Jewish experience with being the 'other' and, conversely and recently, with 'othering' is indeed relevant to theorists of contemporary culture.\" -Marianne Hirsch\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJonathan Boyarin is the author of \u003ci\u003ePalestine and Jewish History\u003c\/i\u003e, and co-editor, with Daniel Boyarin, of \u003ci\u003eJews and Other Differences\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePowers of Diaspora\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Boyarin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816620954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816620951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.05w x 0.49d","brand":"Jonathan Boyarin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483715612927,"sku":"9780816620951","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c08ad9e-a247-4d55-b7f7-0370ed82fdc6.jpg?v=1778040187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/storm-from-paradise-jonathan-boyarin-9780816620951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
