Requests:  0 Summary:  "Written by one of Israel's most notable scholars, this volume provides a breathtaking history of Israel from the origins of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century to the present day. Organized chronologically, the volume explores the emergence of Zionism in Europe against the backdrop of relations among Jews, Arabs, and Turks, and the earliest pioneer settlements in Palestine under Ottoman rule. Weaving together political, social, and cultural developments in Palestine under the British mandate, Shapira creates a tapestry through which to understand the challenges of Israeli nation building, including mass immigration, shifting cultural norms, the politics of war and world diplomacy, and the creation of democratic institutions and a civil society. References to contemporary diaries, memoirs, and literature bring a human dimension to this narrative history of Israel from its declaration of independence in 1948 through successive decade of waging war, negotiating peace, and building a modern state with a vibrant society and culture. Based on archival sources and the most up-to-date scholarly research, this authoritative history is ideal for course adoption and a must-read for anyone with a passionate interest in Israel. Israel: A History will be the gold standard in the field for years to come." --Publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.94 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.94 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.94 Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.94 Sh Checked out 05/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList
