The set of Jewish mystical teachings known as Kabbalah are often imagined as timeless texts; teachings that have been passed down through the millennia. Yet; as this groundbreaking new study shows; Kabbalah flourished in a specific time and place; emerging in response to the social prejudices that Jews faced.

Very Accessible; But Not Dumbed DownBy CapitalTTruthThis is a really great reader; particularly for teaching middle and upper division college courses. It is very accessible and really well put together. The chapters and sections get progressively more complex and involved; allowing readers to grow and explore privilege as they go. Additionally; the questions at the end of each section are pretty solid. They aren't to provide busy work at all and are actually quite helpful. This edition really found a great niche for the reader as a smart; compelling teaching tool. Don't be confused; it can and will teach you something; regardless of your education and background. These readings aren't EASY; they are just put together in a really smart way. My only problem with this edition of the reader is that they took Dunbar-Ortiz's piece from early editions out of the collection. That was one of my favorite parts of earlier editions and it is missed in this one. I think their additions to cover class are perhaps more traditionally academic; but Dunbar-Ortiz brought something special to the reader that resonates with readers who come from rural communities.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. the best privilege book there isBy RebekahThis book blew my mind! the best privilege book there is.
