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 Based on a wide range of textual and visual historical documents, the book covers both what Israelis wore in various circumstances and what they said and wrote about clothing and fashion.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. 410 0$aIsrael (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aClothing and dress$zIsrael$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aIsrael$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 615 0$aClothing and dress$xHistory 676 $a391.0095694/0904 700 $aHelman$b Anat$0851541 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457526203321 996 $aA coat of many colors$91901183 997 $aUNINA
