[Ethnocomm] Interview with Chaim Noy about his latest book

[David Boromisza-Habashi]

Hi All,

The CaMP Anthropology blog has just published an interview with Chaim Noy (USF) about his latest book titled "Thank You for Dying for Our Country: Commemorative Texts and Performances in Jerusalem" (Oxford UP, 2015).

Here is a brief excerpt from the interview:

"In my book I look at what visitors write in visitor books in a major national Israeli site in East Jerusalem, called the Ammunition Hill National Commemoration Site. These books are interesting because, as a whole, they give a fascinating sense of how people respond to and embody national themes and narratives. I see the texts visitors write as ways of participating in the retelling of national identity. When you look closely into these succinct texts, you can see how rich they are in fact. They show different positions with regards to identity, and different things that visitors choose to respond to (and ignore)."
