What is In Spite of Partition: Jews, Arabs, and the Limits of Separatist Imagination: Jews, Arabs, and the Limits of Separatist Imagination about?

Partition--the Idea Of Separating Jews And Arabs Along Ethnic Or National Lines--is A Legacy At Least As Old As The Zionist-palestinian Conflict. Challenging The Widespread Separatist Imagination Behind Partition, Gil Hochberg Demonstrates The Ways In Which Works Of Contemporary Jewish And Arab Literature Reject Simple Notions Of Separatism And Instead Display Complex Configurations Of Identity That Emphasize The Presence Of Alterity Within The Self--the Jew Within The Arab, And The Arab Within The Jew. In Spite Of Partition Examines Hebrew, Arabic, And French Works That Are Largely Unknown To English Readers To Reveal How, Far From Being Independent, The Signifiers Jew And Arab Are Inseparable. In A Series Of Original Close Readings, Hochberg Analyzes Fascinating Examples Of Such Inseparability. In The Palestinian Writer Anton Shammas's Hebrew Novel Arabesques, The Israeli And Palestinian Protagonists Are A Schizophrenic Pair Who Have Not Yet Decided Who Is The Ventriloquist Of Whom. And In The Moroccan Jewish Writer Albert Swissa's Hebrew Novel Aqud, The Moroccan-israeli Main Character's Identity Is Uneasily Located Between The Moroccan Muslim Boy He Could Have Been And The Jewis
