					<description><![CDATA[Writing book reviews is integral to the circulation of ideas and dialogue between scholars. This daunting job often goes unappreciated. I am grateful to Anja Ryding for the time and care she put into this important public service and for her cogent summary and analysis of Wrapped in the Flag of Israel. 

There seems to be two errata, however, that I would like to address for potential readers of my book. 

First, although I am currently a scholar-in-residence at U. C. Berkeley and completed my Ph.D. at this fine institution in 1989, I was not a professor at Berkeley before my forced stay in Israel from 1999 to late 2007. The book states clearly that I was an associate professor at U. C. Davis. Since my background and personal experience are the basis for the autoethnographical component of Wrapped -- as the reviewer aptly points out -- it seems important to be clear on this matter. 

Second, Wrapped in the Flag of Israel dedicates a whole chapter to discussing the socio-economic and cultural effects of Mizrahi labor migration to Palestine from 1882 onwards. 1882 marks the beginning of Ashkenazi Zionist settlement of Palestine as well. The book does not discuss Mizrahi immigration to the state of Israel in the 1960s, as the reviewer claims in her opening paragraph. Indeed, Chapter One emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of pre-Nakba Mizrahi migration to Palestine, rather than the large waves of 1950s immigration.]]></description>
