This powerful collection from an international mix of respected
academics, newer voices and political activists explores the place
of Israel as a Jewish state in today's modern world-a world in
which identifies, citizenship and human rights are defined
increasingly cosmopolitan and inclusive ways. Offering compelling
and comprehensive arguments as to why Israel falls into the
category of an ethnocentric state, the contributions to this volume
explore four central themes. They reveal the reality behind
Israel's founding myths. They document the experiences of some of
those who have fallen victim to this ethnic state. They reveal the
reality behind Israel's founding myths. Then, they draw comparisons
with other ethnic states, notably South Africa, and finally, they
point towards the radical hope of achieving a single nation,
united, peaceful and just. Unpacking both Jewish and Palestinian
nationalism, the nation-state, and ethnic nationalism, this
fascinating collection offers new insights into one of the world's
most intractable conflicts. It will appeal not only to scholars and
teachers, but to anyone interested in the history, politics,
anthropology and legal standing of Palestine-Israel.
