Good Jewish Girl: A Jerusalem Love Story Gone Bad
This book is a collection of personal essays that explore living in Jerusalem in the 1990s as a graduate student at Hebrew University and about relationships with the Israelis, Palestinians, and Armenians who live there. More than this though, the book is about what it means to separate from an ideology - to have a shift in world view. The book also explores the larger historical and political context of Israel and Palestine, and the distinction between Zionism and Judaism. “No revolutionary histrionics and dramatic heroism,” Ilan Pappe writes in his foreword, “this book is a powerful example of a road many more will take in the future.”
