Dear Friends, I am proud to announce the publication of two new titles in the field of Jewish Studies from Academic Studies Press: A Coat of Many Colors: Dress Culture in the Young State of Israel by Anat Helman and Sex Rewarded, Sex Punished: A Study of the Status of 'Female Slave' in Early Jewish Law by Diane Kriger Please find a brief summary of both titles below: A Coat of Many Colors: Dress Culture in the Young State of Israel. by Anat Helman ISBN 978-1-934843-88-8 242 pp. cloth $59.00 A Coat of Many Colors investigates Israel's first seven years as a sovereign state through the unusual prism of dress. Clothes worn by Israelis in the 1950s reflected political ideologies, economic conditions, military priorities, social distinctions, and cultural preferences, and all played a part in consolidating a new national identity. Based on a wide range of textual and visual historical documents, the book covers both what Israelis wore in various circumstances and what they said and wrote about clothing and fashion. Written in a clear and accessible style that will appeal to the general reader as well as students and scholars, A Coat of Many Colors introduces the reader both to Israel's history during its formative years and to the rich field of dress culture. Sex Rewarded, Sex Punished: A Study of the Status 'Female Slave' in Early Jewish Law. by Diane Kriger ISBN 978-1-934843-48-2 300 pp. cloth $48.00 A masterful intersection of Bible Studies, Gender Studies, and Rabbinic law, Diane Kriger explores the laws pertaining to female slaves in Jewish law. Comparing Biblical strictures with later Rabbinic interpretations as well as contemporary Greco-Roman and Babylonian codes of law, Kriger establishes a framework whereby a woman's sexual identity also indicates her legal status. With sensitivity to the nuances in both ancient laws and ancient languages, Kriger adds greatly to our understanding of gender, slave status, and the matrilineal principle of descent in the Ancient Near East. As always, further ordering and title information can be found anytime at www.academicstudiespress.com. Thank you for your continued support of our press!
