Israel in History

This collection of essays provide a comparative historical analysis of Israel's history. In particular they tackle the often contentious issues of the nature of Zionism, whether Israel is a colonial state, historiography and antisemitism as well social and cultural developments.

Covering topical issues concerning the nature of the Israeli state, this engaging work presents essays that combine a variety of comparative schemes, both internal to Jewish civilization and extending throughout the world, such as:

modern Jewish society, politics and culture
historical consciousness in the twentieth century
colonialism, anti-colonialism and postcolonial state-building.

With its open-ended, comparative approach, Israel in History provides a useful means of correcting the biases found in so much scholarship on Israel, be it sympathetic or hostile. This book will appeal to scholars and students with research interests in many fields, including Israeli Studies, Middle East Studies, and Jewish Studies.
