Back Cover "While her love for Tel Aviv is palpable, Mann maintains a critical distance from her subject, which assures A Place in History its own place as an authoritative guide to the complex textualities of Israel's largest urban area."-Tikkun "A Place in History offers a fresh perspective on Tel Aviv, the first Hebrew city, by presenting an imaginative literary walk through symbolic spaces and historic layers. The city unfolds as a cultural landscape of memory and forgetting, a site of political conflict and change, an urban space negotiating global and local aesthetics, the private and the public, the new and the old." -Yael Zerubavel,Director, Center for the Study of Jewish Life, Rutgers University Flap A Place in History is a cultural study of Tel Aviv, Israel's population center, established in 1909.

Highly recommended to those who seek a theoretical perspective on Israeli urbanism, or are interested in its ideological roots or its spatial transformations. Though the book focuses on Tel Aviv, in many ways it conveys the broader story of Israeli territorialization. Mann's book could also serve visitors as an excellent critical guide to the city's modern geography and history." - H-Net Reviews "While her love for Tel Aviv is palpable, Mann maintains a critical distance from her subject, which assures A Place in History its own place as an authoritative guide to the complex textualities of Israel's largest urban area." - Tikkun "A very important contribution, this book adds a crucial layer to the discussion of the city of Tel Aviv in its local, national, and historical context. I would even venture to claim that it offers the most complex and multi-layered view to date, a Renaissance text in which the author/flaneuse strolls, researches, interprets, writes, and even makes photographs, all at the same time." - Hebrew Studies Long Description A Place in History is a cultural study of Tel Aviv, Israel's population center, established in 1909.
