What is a homeland? When does it become a national territory? Why
have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout
the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land?
Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the
Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that
has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of
Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land
and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. The invention of
the modern concept of the "Land of Israel" in the nineteenth
century, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the
Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel, it is
also what is threatening Israel's existence today.
