Abstract
Barbara Mann’s book is a notable contribution to the recently growing literature on the city of Tel Aviv. Creating its very own mode of critique, it reads the city not merely as a sum total of historical events and sites, but also as a collection of ordinary practices interwoven with interpretive readings of literary texts and cultural moments. Such an approach intentionally unsettles the well-defined disciplinary domains. Mann clearly does not work with a ready-made categorical model, staying well away from conventional binaries, like “white city/black city.”
