A 'Coat of Many Colors' investigates Israel's first seven years as
a sovereign state through the unusual prism of dress. Clothes worn
by Israelis in the 1950s reflected political ideologies, economic
conditions, military priorities, social distinctions, and cultural
preferences, and all played a part in consolidating a new national
identity. Based on a wide range of textual and visual historical
documents, the book covers both what Israelis wore in various
circumstances and what they said and wrote about clothing and
fashion. Written in a clear and accessible style that will appeal
to the general reader as well as to students and scholars, 'A Coat
of Many Colors' introduces the reader both to Israel's history
during its formative years and to the rich field of dress culture.
