{"product_id":"the-venice-ghetto-chiara-camarda-9781625346155","title":"The Venice Ghetto: A Memory Space That Travels","description":"The Venice Ghetto was founded in 1516 by the Venetian government as a segregated area of the city in which Jews were compelled to live. The world's first ghetto and the origin of the English word, the term simultaneously works to mark specific places and their histories, and as a global symbol that evokes themes of identity, exile, marginalization, and segregation. To capture these multiple meanings, the editors of this volume conceptualize the ghetto as a \"memory space that travels\" through both time and space. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis interdisciplinary collection engages with questions about the history, conditions, and lived experience of the Venice Ghetto, including its legacy as a compulsory, segregated, and enclosed space.
