A wonderful new review of A New Orient came out last week in the Journal of Israeli History, paired in conversation with Mostafa Hussein's fantastic book Hebrew Orientalism! Huge thanks to @liorsternfeld.bsky.social for this insightful, generous essay that weaves our two books together. 🔗>>

Exciting news: Starting this October, I will be joining the faculty of the Department of Middle Eastern and African History at Tel Aviv University. >>

"Levy’s book resonates with our contemporary moment as an informed inquiry into the charged relationship between science and politics." Happy to share this generous review of A New Orient by Abraham Rubin, featured in the latest issue of AJS Review 📖 muse.jhu.edu/pub/3/articl...

Another thoughtful review of A NEW ORIENT is out – this time by Nora Derbal in Die Welt des Islams. She calls it a “treasure trove” and a “powerful intervention” on migrating knowledge & intellectual cooperation. Read it here: brill.com/view/journal...

Grateful for Sabine Mangold-Will’s generous deep dive into "A New Orient" in Revue d’histoire des sciences humaines! Read the full review here: journals.openedition.org/rhsh/12132?l...
