"This is a living and essential book." ?sam sax, author of Bury It and Madness
A meditation on world invention and collapse, A Flag of No Nation traces the stories of Turkish Jews in the twentieth century, blind colonists in a white ocean, and performers enacting new rituals around a nationless flag. Through forms of storytelling that range from allegory to oral history, Tom Haviv investigates the history of Israel|Palestine and the mythologies of nationalism. A warning against imperfect dreams, and an invitation to imagine something new, A Flag of No Nation reminds us how the act of rememberance can help us re-envision the future.
The first edition of A Flag of No Nation was published by Jewish Currents Press.
This second edition was published by Ayin Press. It features an updated design and a new closing essay from the author.
