Born in Palestine in 1934 to a Sephardic father and an Ashkenazi mother, Benvenisti has enjoyed an unusual vantage point from which to consider his homeland's conflicts and controversies. Throughout his long and provocative career as a scholar, an elected official, and a respected journalist, he has remained intimately involved with Israel's social and political development. Part memoir and part political polemic, Son of the Cypresses threads Benvenisti's own story through the story of Israel. The result is a vivid, sharply drawn eyewitness account of pre-state Jerusalem and Israel's early years. He memorably sets the scene by recalling his father's emotional journey from Jewish Salonika in 1913 to Palestine, with all its attendant euphoria and frustration, and his father's pioneer dedication to inculcating Israeli youth with a "native's" attachment to the homeland. In describing the colorful and lively Jerusalem in which he grew up, Benvenisti recalls the many challenges faced by new Jewish immigrants, who found themselves not only in conflict with the Arab population but also with each other as Sephardim and Ashkenazim. He revisits his own public disagreements with both Zionists and Palestinians and shares indelible memories such as his boyhood experiences of the 1948 War. In remembering his life as an Israeli sabra, Benvenisti offers a vivid record of the historical roots of the conflict that persists today. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xInfluence 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$y1993-$xPeace 606 $aJews$zIsrael$vBiography 606 $aSephardim$zIsrael$vBiography 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aIsrael$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xInfluence. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xPeace. 615 0$aJews 615 0$aSephardim 676 $a956.9405092 676 $aB 700 $aBenvenisti$b Meron$f1934-$0210418 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457565703321 996 $aSon of cypresses$92469406 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03824nam 2200877 450 001 9910814038503321 005 20180704083155.0 010 $a1-78533-799-8 024 7 $a10.1515/9781785337994 035 $a(CKB)4340000000260751 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5323081 035 $a(DE-B1597)637291 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781785337994 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000260751 100 $a20180406h20182018 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aBack to the postindustrial future $ean ethnography of Germany's fastest shrinking city /$fFelix Ringel 210 1$aNew York, [New York] ;$aOxford, [England] :$cBerghahn Books,$d2018. 210 4$dİ2018 215 $a1 online resource (222 pages) $cillustrations (some color), maps, photographs 225 1 $aEASA Series ;$v33 311 $a1-78533-798-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction: anthropology and the future : notes from a shrinking fieldsite -- "There can only be one narrative" : postsocialism, shrinkage and the politics of context in Hoyerswerda -- Reasoning about the past : temporal politics and moral historical education in a city with no future -- "Hoyerswerda-- ?" : "-- once had a future!" : temporal flexibility and the politics of -- The future -- Enforced futurism / Prescribed Hopes : Affective Politics and Pedagogies of the Future -- Performing the future : endurance, maintenance and self-formation in times of shrinkage -- Conclusion: Coming to terms with the future / "Zukunftsbewaltigung" -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $aHow does an urban community come to terms with the loss of its future? The former socialist model city of Hoyerswerda is an extreme case of a declining postindustrial city. Built to serve the GDR coal industry, it lost over half its population to outmigration after German reunification and the coal industry crisis, leading to the large-scale deconstruction of its cityscape. This book tells the story of its inhabitants, now forced to reconsider their futures. Building on recent theoretical work, it advances a new anthropological approach to time, allowing us to investigate the postindustrial era and the futures it has supposedly lost. 410 0$aEASA series ;$v33. 606 $aDeindustrialization$zGermany 606 $aCoal trade$zGermany$zHoyerswerda 607 $aHoyerswerda (Germany)$xSocial conditions 610 $aanthropological approach. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acareer. 610 $acitizens. 610 $acity life. 610 $acoal industry. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $acultural. 610 $adecline. 610 $aengaging. 610 $agerman history. 610 $agerman reunification. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory of anthropology. 610 $ahistory of germany. 610 $ahoyerswerda. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $aindustry. 610 $alifetime. 610 $aoutmigration. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apostindustrial era. 610 $apostindustrial. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asocial issues. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asocialist model city. 610 $asocialist model. 610 $asociology. 610 $aurban community. 610 $aurban sociology. 615 0$aDeindustrialization 615 0$aCoal trade 676 $a943/.186 700 $aRingel$b Felix$01647557 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814038503321 996 $aBack to the postindustrial future$93995193 997 $aUNINA
