Place and Ideology examines literary depictions of vernacular places, the lived places of everyday life, such as balconies and cafs, to propose a reconceptualization of how space informs Israeli identity. In illuminating the intimate relations between vernacular place, identity, and ideology in the cultural imagination, it confronts issues central in Israel and beyond.
