''Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices'' (Duke Univ.

Shohat's parents were [[Iraqi Jews in Israel|Iraqi Jews]] who were [[Jewish exodus from the Muslim world|displaced to Israel]] in the 1950s and then moved to the United States.<ref name="Remembering-785">{{cite journal|first=Ella|last=Shohat|title=Remembering a Baghdad Elsewhere: An emotional cartography|journal=Biography|volume=37|issue=3|year=2014|page=785|doi=10.1353/bio.2014.0034 |s2cid=143258497}}</ref> She has described herself as an "[[Arab Jews|Arab-Jew]]" with regard to her identity (see [[Mizrahi Jews]]).<ref name="Remembering-785"/> Some of Shohat's writing deals with Arab-Jewish identity within the context of the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]]. She described her childhood in Israel in the 1960s as a time when children were "recruited for the making of a new identity that was to clash with our parents' Iraqiness, Arabness and Middle Easterness".<ref name="Remembering-786">{{cite journal|first=Ella|last=Shohat|title=Remembering a Baghdad Elsewhere: An emotional cartography|journal=Biography|volume=37|issue=3|year=2014|page=786|doi=10.1353/bio.2014.0034 |s2cid=143258497}}</ref> Her grandparents never learned Hebrew and her parents lamented how "in Iraq [...] we were Jews. In Israel, we are Arabs".<ref name="Remembering-786"/> Her father and his friends were told to stop speaking Arabic in the workplace and Shohat herself recalls similar messages being communicated to children at school.<ref name="Remembering-786"/> She described herself and other schoolchildren as "unknowing targets of mental colonization [...] [who] were expected to delete [...] the past across the border [and] also the transplanted Baghdads, Cairos or [[Rabat]]s of our homes and neighborhoods".<ref name="Remembering-786"/> Shohat felt that this process was part of "disciplining, corrective, normalizing machine" designed to make them "proud Israelis".<ref name="Remembering-786"/> |
|||
==Writings and reception== |
|||
Her writing has been translated into several languages, including: Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, French, Spanish, Portuguese, [[Germans|German]], Polish, and Italian. Shohat has also served on the editorial board of several journals, including: ''Social Text''; ''Critique: Critical Middle Eastern Studies''; ''Meridians: Feminism, Race, Transnationalism''; ''Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies''; and ''Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication''. She is a recipient of such fellowships as Rockefeller and the Society for the Humanities at Cornell University, where she also taught at The School of Criticism and Theory. Recently she was awarded a Fulbright research / lectureship at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, for working on the cultural intersections between the Middle East and Latin America. |
|||
In a review for the academic journal ''Biography'', Egyptian Jewish professor Joyce Zonana described Shohat's book ''On the Arab Jew, Palestine and Other Displacements'' as a "profound work" and a "visionary contribution to (multi)cultural studies" which provides "helpful new ways of thinking about identity, politics, and culture in the Middle East and beyond".<ref name="Biog-review">{{cite journal|first=Zonana|last=Joyce|title=Review of ''On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings'', by Ella Shohat|journal=[[Biography (journal)|Biography]]|volume=42|issue=2|year=2019|pages=455–459|doi=10.1353/bio.2019.0052 |s2cid=203011812}}</ref> Zonana compared Shohat to [[Edward Said]] and [[Frantz Fanon]], who she named as the only other writers whose "cultural/political analyses are so explicitly and productively rooted in their lives" in the way Shohat's work also is.<ref name="Biog-review"/> Zonana further argued that Shohat had "honoured" Said and Fanon with this collection of writings.<ref name="Biog-review"/> The essays "Sephardim in Israel: Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Jewish Victims" and "Dislocated Identities: Reflections of an Arab Jew" were described as "canonical" and "groundbreaking".<ref name="Biog-review"/> |
|||
The journal ''Mashriq & Mahjar'' also praised ''On the Arab Jew, Palestine and Other Displacements''.<ref name="Mashriq-review">{{cite journal|first=Kelly|last=Jennifer Lynn|title=ELLA SHOHAT, On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings (London: Pluto Press, 2017). 464 pages. $115.00 cloth, $28.00 paper, $28.00 e-book.

Kelly described the book as "required reading for scholars working at the intersection of critical refugee studies, comparative colonial studies, and feminist studies".<ref name="Mashriq-review"/> Kelly noted that Shohat "constructs meaningful parallels between dislocated Arab-Jews and displaced Palestinians with the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948" in order to "point to the multiple violences that animate life in the wake of occupation and exile".<ref name="Mashriq-review"/> |

Israeli historian and activist [[Ilan Pappe]] named Shohat as one of a group of notable scholars, along with [[Sami Shalom Chetrit]], who have "done much to expose" the "invidious process of de-Arabisation" that the [[Mizrahim]] were put through when arriving in the new state of Israel.<ref>{{cite book|first=Ilan|last=Pappe|title=[[The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine]]|year=2006|publisher=[[Oneworld Publications]]|location=London|edition=Paperback|page=254}}</ref> |

Ella Habiba Shohat (Hebrew: אלה חביבה שוחט; Arabic: إيلا حبيبة شوحيط) is an Iraqi-born Israeli-American professor of cultural studies at New York University,[1] where she teaches in the departments of Art & Public Policy and Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies.[2] She has written and lectured on the topics of Eurocentrism, orientalism, post-colonialism, trans-nationalism, diasporic cultures,[2] and Iraqi-Jewish culture.[3][4]
Background
[edit]Arab-Jewish identity
[edit]Shohat's parents were Iraqi Jews who were displaced to Israel in the 1950s and then moved to the United States.[5] She has described herself as an "Arab-Jew" with regard to her identity (see Mizrahi Jews).[5] Some of Shohat's writing deals with Arab-Jewish identity within the context of the Arab–Israeli conflict. She described her childhood in Israel in the 1960s as a time when children were "recruited for the making of a new identity that was to clash with our parents' Iraqiness, Arabness and Middle Easterness".[6] Her grandparents never learned Hebrew and her parents lamented how "in Iraq [...] we were Jews. In Israel, we are Arabs".[6] Her father and his friends were told to stop speaking Arabic in the workplace and Shohat herself recalls similar messages being communicated to children at school.[6] She described herself and other schoolchildren as "unknowing targets of mental colonization [...] [who] were expected to delete [...] the past across the border [and] also the transplanted Baghdads, Cairos or Rabats of our homes and neighborhoods".[6] Shohat felt that this process was part of "disciplining, corrective, normalizing machine" designed to make them "proud Israelis".[6]
Writings and reception
[edit]In a review for the academic journal Biography, Egyptian Jewish professor Joyce Zonana described Shohat's book On the Arab Jew, Palestine and Other Displacements as a "profound work" and a "visionary contribution to (multi)cultural studies" which provides "helpful new ways of thinking about identity, politics, and culture in the Middle East and beyond".[7] Zonana compared Shohat to Edward Said and Frantz Fanon, who she named as the only other writers whose "cultural/political analyses are so explicitly and productively rooted in their lives" in the way Shohat's work also is.[7] Zonana further argued that Shohat had "honoured" Said and Fanon with this collection of writings.[7] The essays "Sephardim in Israel: Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Jewish Victims" and "Dislocated Identities: Reflections of an Arab Jew" were described as "canonical" and "groundbreaking".[7]
The journal Mashriq & Mahjar also praised On the Arab Jew, Palestine and Other Displacements.[8] In the review, Professor Jennifer L. Kelly described the book as "required reading for scholars working at the intersection of critical refugee studies, comparative colonial studies, and feminist studies".[8] Kelly noted that Shohat "constructs meaningful parallels between dislocated Arab-Jews and displaced Palestinians with the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948" in order to "point to the multiple violences that animate life in the wake of occupation and exile".[8]
Israeli historian and activist Ilan Pappe named Shohat as one of a group of notable scholars, along with Sami Shalom Chetrit, who have "done much to expose" the "invidious process of de-Arabisation" that the Mizrahim were put through when arriving in the new state of Israel.[9]
On the Arab Jew, Palestine and Other Displacements was the winner of the Middle East Monitor Palestine Book Award 2017 for Memoir.[7][10]
Ella Shohat's work has been translated into many languages including Arabic, Hebrew, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish, Turkish, Italian and Japanese.[2]
