Weaving together memoir, auto-ethnography, political analysis, and cultural critique, \u003ci\u003eWrapped in the Flag of Israel \u003c\/i\u003epresents a model of bureaucracy as divine cosmology that is both lyrical and provocative. Lavie's focus on the often-minimized Mizraḥi population juxtaposed with the state's monolithic culture suggests that Israeli bureaucracy is based on a theological notion that inserts the categories of religion, gender, and race into the foundation of citizenship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this revised and updated edition Lavie connects intra-Jewish racial and gendered dynamics to the 2014 Gaza War, providing an extensive afterword that focuses on the developments in Mizraḥi feminist politics and culture between 2014 and 2016 and its relation to Palestinians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Smadar Lavie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496205545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496205544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Smadar Lavie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936367116543,"sku":"9781496205544","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_64a37eb8-b165-4c69-8903-4f070673ebc4.jpg?v=1681425150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wrapped-in-the-flag-of-smadar-lavie-9781496205544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
