Clothes worn by Israelis in the 1950's reflected political ideologies, economic conditions, military priorities, social distinctions, and cultural preferences, and all played a part in consolidating a new national identity. Based on a wide range of textual and visual historical documents, the book covers both what Israelis wore in various circumstances and what they said and wrote about clothing and fashion. Written in a clear and accessible style that will appeal to the general reader as well as students and scholars, A Coat of Many Colors introduces the reader both to Israel's history during its formative years and to the rich field of dress culture.Israel (Boston, Mass.)Clothing and dressIsraelHistory20th centuryIsraelPolitics and government20th centuryIsraelSocial life and customs20th centuryClothing and dressHistory391.0095694/0904Helman Anat851541MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457526203321A coat of many colors1901183UNINA
