It is a forum allowing some of the most insightful students of Israeli affairs, both in Israel and in the United States, to examine trends in Israeli literature and in scholarship pertaining to all aspects of Israeli life. Each contributor approaches Israel from a different angle, offering anthropological, religious, political, literary, and historical perspectives.Topics attracting particular attention in this volume include the psychological reactions of Israelis who emigrate from their country and the portrayal of the emigrant in Israeli literature; human rights; the role and content of the Jewish fundamentalist movement in Israel; changing relations to the Palestinian leadership in the occupied terrorists; the emerging issue of Israel as a binational society; psychoanalytic and political motifs in contemporary Israeli fiction; and the controversial findings of Israel's newest wave of "revisionist" historians.SUNY Series in Israeli StudiesBooksReviewsIsraelBook reviewsBooks956.94 s016.95694Lustick Ian1949-1800209Rubin Barry M473432Association for Israel Studies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974878003321Critical essays on Israeli society, politics, and culture4344859UNINA
