Summary:

Transnational Identities: Women, Art, and Migration in Contemporary Israel offers a critical discussion of women immigrants in Israel through an analysis of works by artists who immigrated to the country beginning in the 1990s. Although numerous aspects of the issue of women migrants have received intense academic scrutiny, no scholarly books to date have addressed the gender facets of the experiences of contemporary women immigrants in Israel. It therefore stands to make a significant contribution to research into women's lives, citizenship studies, global migration, Jewish and national identity, and women's art in contemporary Israel.
