What is a homeland and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for them throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial 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 20th century. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age - old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. Sand's account dissects the concept of historical right and tracks the invention of the modern geopolitical concept of the Land of Israel by nineteenth century Evangelical Protestants and Jewish Zionists. This invention 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 the existence of the Jewish state today.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Invention Of The Land Of Israel From Holy Land To Homeland\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Sand Shlomo\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781781680834\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 304 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/1\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Nationalism","brand":"Sand Shlomo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623296704817,"sku":"IN-G-9781781680834","price":28.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781781680834.jpg?v=1724765327","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781781680834-the-invention-of-the-land-of-israel-from-holy-land-to-homeland","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
