Reviews

"Successfully struggles with applying anthropology to an urbanized and diverse community while deftly unravelling the dilemmas faced by Jews in Istanbul as they balance cosmopolitanism with maintaining a sense of who they are." Harvey E. Goldberg, Hebrew University "Brink-Danan, in Jewish Life in 21st-Century Turkey, ventures beyond the bland and the predictable and produces a thought-provoking book about an intriguing Jewish community in a fascinating Muslim country." - The Canadian Jewish News
