Rezensionen

'This innovative work, thoughtfully designed and meticulously written, fills a major gap in research and publication regarding Israel's Jewish-Iranian community, and sheds much new light on the intricacies of their immigration and socio-cultural lives and identities within Israel's growingly multi-cultural and fragmented society, culture and politics.'

Prof. David Yeroushalmi, The Alliance Center for Iranian Studies, Tel Aviv University

'Jewish Iranian immigration to Israel has received little scholarly attention over the years. In this remarkable research, Ezzatyar effectively analyzed each wave of immigration and put it in its unique historical, cultural, and social context. This book takes the reader on a journey from Iran to Israel and beyond. Ezzatyar also writes from the perspective of immigrants, amplifying their voices.'

Lior B. Sternfeld, Professor of History and Jewish Studies, The Pennsylvania State University
