Opis

This book is a study of the construction of Jewish-Israeli nationalism and later critiques of it and its transformation. The author combines a sociological study of a national culture with a analysis of the national discourse, exploring the categories of thought that constitute the Jewish-Israeli "nation" as an historical entity, as a social reality and as a communal identity.
