Media Reviews
The Poetics of Diaspora is an intellectual rhapsody joining together an autobiographic and critical itinerary and diverse literary productions...[It is] a timely work because it is capable or preproposing an inclusive, tolerant and personal understanding of a fading political and liberal tradition. -Lorenzo Veracini, Patterns of Prejudice
there is much to celebrate in.. John Docker's unprecedented historical and theoretical approach...An ambitious study of great scope and originality Shofar, 2003
I find this book to be an impressive achievement indeed. The combination of Docker's own adventure and his interwoven micro-histories spawns an image of identity that exceeds those found in either nationalist stories, univocal versions of monotheism or thin secular models of public culture. Readers will be touched and moved by this text even as they are drawn to exploration of hidden, forgotten or marginalized dimensions of their own identities. The book is a tour de force, and it will have a profound impact on readers in a variety of walks of life and academic fields. I have learned a lot from it. William Connolly, Professor and Chair, Political Science, Johns Hopkins University
This is a quite remarkable book... It is original, engaging, well-written, witty, scholarly, personable and readable. It deals with popular and interesting texts ... and puts them in a series of unusual and enlightening contexts. This is a big book. It tackles large issues (and large books), with a gusto and openness which is truly refreshing. ...An important book, with a wide readership. Peter Hulme, Professor of Literature, University of Essex
