Reviews

"With cogent and compelling chapters organized to move the reader through a transhistorical and transnational context to highlight the ghetto's impact writ large, this volume will appeal to historians, literary critics, artists, and art historians of premodern and modern Europe and the Mediterranean, as well as Jewish studies scholars."--Dana E. Katz, author of The Jewish Ghetto and the Visual Imagination of Early Modern Venice "A timely, conceptually rich collection based on new sources and translations that explore the ghetto as a palimpsest across time and space. An essential resource for students and scholars studying both the ghetto, in general, and the Venice Ghetto, in particular."--Bryan Cheyette, author of The Ghetto: A Very Short Introduction
