"An excellent and timely book that transforms the nascent and understudied field of post-Soviet Israeli culture." - Melissa Weininger, California State University, Northridge"Dual Diaspora presents novel, compelling, and fascinating interpretations of the works of post-Soviet Israeli artists and the way they responded to the challenges of their new country." - Miriam Finkelstein, University of Konstanz"Jewish literature has long awaited a book about Soviet-born Israelis. Reading compelling stories by a diverse array of writers from the Soviet refusenik and scientist turned Israeli politician Natan Sharansky to the post-Soviet émigré Dina Rubina, Moshkin helps to interpret the rich literature of Israel's largest – and arguably most enigmatic – recent wave of immigrants. These writers and artists are at once the subjects of a narrative of return to a historical homeland and exiles from Soviet and post-Soviet culture. This important new book will help us to better understand the cultures of Israel, Palestine, and the former Soviet Union and the transnational literary networks of the global twenty-first century." - Amelia Glaser, University of California, San Diego
