In this insightful volume, Ilana Pardes invites us to marvel at the ever-changing perspectives on Ruth's foreignness. She explores the rabbis' lauding of Ruth as an exemplary convert, and the Zohar's insistence that Ruth's Moabite background is vital to her redemptive powers. In moving to early-modern French art, she looks at pastoral paintings in which Ruth becomes a local gleaner, holding sheaves in her hands. Pardes concludes with contemporary adaptations in literature, photography, and film in which Ruth is admired for being a paradigmatic migrant woman. Ruth's afterlives not only reveal much about their own times, but also shine new light upon this remarkable ancient tale and point to its enduring significance. In our own era of widespread migration and dislocation, Ruth remains as relevant as ever"--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 222.35092 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
