Wrapped in the flag of Israel : : Mizrahi single mothers and bureaucratic torture / / Smadar Lavie ; with a new afterword by the author.
Weaving together memoir, auto-ethnography, political analysis, and cultural critique, Lavie equates bureaucratic entanglements with pain--and, arguably, torture--to examine the conundrum of loving and staying loyal to a state that repeatedly inflicts pain on its non-European Jewish women citizens.
