The city unfolds as a cultural landscape of memory and forgetting, a site of political conflict and change, an urban space negotiating global and local aesthetics, the private and the public, the new and the old." -- Yael Zerubavel, Director, Center for the Study of Jewish Life, Rutgers UniversityMann, Barbara E. is the author of 'Place in History Modernism, Tel Aviv, And the Creation of Jewish Urban Space', published 2006 under ISBN 9780804750189 and ISBN 0804750181.
