Review :
"Aaron Kreuter incorporates a wide range of scholarly work and historically contextualizes the spaces under discussion. Leaving Other People Alone is an important book." Brett Ashley Kaplan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign "Leaving Other People Alone, is without a doubt, the most morally imaginative and critically compelling exploration of the Jewish literary soul to come along in many years. Through eloquent and genuinely exciting close readings, Kreuter offers brilliant new approaches to considering indigeneity, diasporic identities and related forms of conflicted belonging. His highly original formulation of “diasporic heteroglossia,” a bold conceptual approach to the ethics of repudiating territorialism, offers the kind of rare paradigm that truly transforms the conversation and will likely provoke and inspire scholars in Jewish Studies and well beyond for years to come." Ranen Omer-Sherman, author of Amos Oz: Legacy of a Writer "One of the key questions Aaron Krueter asks in Leaving Other People Alone is what the books and authors studied reveal about the relationship between the Jewish diaspora, Israel, Zionism, and the ethical potential of diaspora." Isabelle Hesse, University of Sydney "Kreuter explains and offers poignant examples of [diasporic heteroglossia] throughout, and he does so with expert skill." Jesse Toufexis, Canadian Jewish Studies, August 2024
