"In this vigorously argued and controversial study, Hannan Hever applies the insights of post-colonial theory to the case of modern Hebrew literature, which began as the writing of an imagined national community in Eastern Europe and went on to become a majority literature in Israel. Hever's erudition and conceptual powers are never less than impressive."-Alan Mintz, Brandeis University
"Since the late eighties, Hever's critical project has outlined for me not only the way I read modern Hebrew literature but also the way I read my own writing against that literature. This book not only offers a brilliant, insightful, and unsettling contemplation on the role of literary canonization and minority discourse in the construction of national imagination, but, above all, an appositional voice whose critical stance is bound to inform the work of a new generation of Hebrew scholars."-Anton Shammas, University of Michigan
"[Hever] offers an alternative reading of the historiography of Hebrew literature and of major narratives in it." -"Reference & Research Book News",
Very usefully pulls the key passages from Gramsci's writings into one volume, which allows English-language readers an overall view of his work. Particularly valuable are the connections it draws across his work and the insights which the introduction and glossary provide into the origin and development of some key Gramscian concepts."-Stuart Hall
