This book fills a gap in historical research by presenting a different type of practical Zionism in Jewish Palestine—urban, middle-class, and created by popular and informal daily practices. While research on Tel Aviv has so far been confined to “positivist” historical description or focused nostalgically on local myths, Helman’s book reconstructs and analyzes the city’s formative decades on various levels, juxtaposing historical reality with cultural images and ideological doctrines. Topics include the city’s physical portrait, major public events, consumer culture, patterns of leisure and entertainment, and urban subcultures.Schusterman series in Israel studies.Tel Aviv (Israel)HistoryTel Aviv (Israel)Description and travelTel Aviv (Israel)Social life and customs20th centuryTel Aviv (Israel)Economic conditions20th century956.94/804Helman Anat851541MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819730203321Young Tel Aviv4026529UNINA
