In this book, Yosefa Loshitzky explores how major Israeli films of the 1980s and 1990s have contributed significantly to the process of identity formation by reflecting, projecting, and constructing debates around Israeli national identity. Loshitzky focuses on three major foundational sites of the struggle over Israeli identity: the Holocaust, the question of the Orient, and the so-called (in an ironic historical twist of the "Jewish question") Palestinian question. The films she discusses raise fundamental questions about the identity of Jewish Holocaust survivors and their children (the "second generation"), Jewish immigrants from Muslim countries or Mizrahim (particularly the second generation of Israeli Mizrahim), and Palestinians. Recognizing that victimhood marks all the identities represented in the films under discussion, Loshitzky does not treat each identity group as a separate and coherent entity, but rather attempts to see the conflation, interplay, and conflict among them. 606 $aMotion pictures$zIsrael$xHistory 606 $aJews in motion pictures 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures 606 $aJewish-Arab relations in motion pictures 606 $aArabs in motion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aJews in motion pictures. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures. 615 0$aJewish-Arab relations in motion pictures. 615 0$aArabs in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/095694 700 $aLoshitzky$b Yosefa$01689444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807729003321 996 $aIdentity politics on the Israeli screen$94064525 997 $aUNINA
