In Milk and Honey, Tamar Novick writes a revolutionary environmental history of the state that centers on the intersection of technology and religion in modern Israel/Palestine. Focusing on animals and the management of their production and reproduction across three political regimes -- the late-Ottoman rule, British rule, and the early Israeli state -- Novick draws attention to the ways in which settlers and state experts used agricultural technology to recreate a biblical idea of past plenitude, literally a "land flowing with milk and honey," through the bodies of animals and people. Novick presents a series of case studies involving the management of water buffalo, bees, goats, sheep, cows, and people in Palestine/Israel. She traces the intimate forms of knowledge and bodily labor -- production and reproduction -- in which this process took place, and the intertwining of bodily, political, and environmental realms in the transformation of Palestine/Israel. Her wide-ranging approach shows technology never replaced religion as a colonial device. Rather, it merged with settler-colonial aspirations to salvage the land, bolstering the effort to seize control over territory and people. Fusing technology, religious fervor, bodily labor, and political ecology, Milk and Honey provides a novel account of the practices that defined and continue to shape settler-colonialism in the Palestine/Israel, revealing the ongoing entanglement of technoscience and religion in our time.Agricultural innovationsIsraelHistoryAgricultural innovationsPalestineHistoryAgricultural innovationsReligious aspectsAgricultureReligious aspectsTechnologyReligious aspectsAgricultural innovationsHistory.Agricultural innovationsHistory.Agricultural innovationsReligious aspects.AgricultureReligious aspects.TechnologyReligious aspects.338.1/6Novick Tamar1772656OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910901881603321Milk and honey4274065UNINA
