Review Quotes
Michael Lambek, author of 'The Ethical Condition: Essays on Action, Person, and Value'
“With a marvelous confluence of sense and sensibility, Hirschkind offers careful correction to the courses we too readily navigate from the past. Speaking directly to the resonance and imbrication of ‘Islam’ and ‘Europe’ in the sounds and edifices of Granada, The Feeling of History is a luminous, deeply thoughtful, and unusually thought-provoking account of the salience of historical receptivity and imagination for contemporary ethical, aesthetic, and political life everywhere.”
Gil Anidjar, author of 'Our Place in al-Andalus: Kabbalah, Philosophy, Literature in Arab Jewish Letters'
“The Feeling of History is an utterly original and exciting book. Hirschkind writes with great sensibility, subtly demonstrating the education that he and his subjects go through in their respective journeys. His erudite treatment of layers of Arabic and Islamic culture, and of a vast range of Spanish history, culture, and politics, is both subtle and rich. No other book achieves so much in so many registers, and no anthropologist has done this kind of multilayered work.”
