Description
Written by one of the most significant Israeli researchers of national history and culture, this book presents a multifaceted history of Israel—from the origins of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century to the early 2000s.
“Israel is a story of success on a global scale; it is a viable, dynamic society with a developing economy and science that has received international recognition, and that is at the forefront of research. It is radical democracy with extreme freedom of speech and bold, aggressive media that hesitate to expose all the weaknesses of the government… Israeli culture is rich, multifaceted, innovative, and constantly renewed. It is marked by collisions between high and popular culture, European and American cultures, Mizrahi culture, secular and religious Jewish culture, and so on—everything reflects the mosaic of cultural life. The great Zionist adventure has been, and remains, one of the most astonishing attempts ever made at nation-building: it unfolded through democratic means, without coercing citizens, during an unceasing existential war, and without losing the moral principles that guided it.”
