Review Quotes
Daniel Melia, University of California, Berkeley
“By carefully interrogating the actual written word, Jasmine Donahaye’s Whose People? Wales, Israel, Palestine manages to disrupt more than one historical commonplace about Welsh attitudes regarding Wales and Jews, Zionism and the Holy Land. Donahaye’s pathbreaking work demonstrates that the representation of this iconic relationship has a varied and contingent history, a history constantly elided or reconfigured as the need for new representations of Wales and Welshness arose. Whose People? combines careful scholarship with invigorating analysis.”
