Nation and History

Israeli Historiography between Zionism and Post-Zionism

Yoav Gelber,

About this book

A critical examination of Israeli historiography and its complex relationship with Zionism. During the last 20 years, Israel has reached unprecedented prosperity, yet it is haunted by existential fears for its future, identity, and survival. This book explores the evolution of Israeli historiography and its ongoing debates. This study concentrates primarily on the shaping of the Israeli attitude to the past, and the Israeli view of the past became controversial in the 1980s, with the appearance of the so-called 'new' historians. It examines the conflicting approaches to the cardinal issue of Zionism's essence: Is it a national liberation movement or a colonial movement?

Analyzes the impact of postmodernism on historical research.
Refutes post-Zionism's denial of the existence of Jewish nation and national identity.
Contests the post-Zionist accusations of Zionism's past sins towards the Palestinian Arabs and Jews from Muslim countries.

For scholars of Israeli history, Zionism, and Middle Eastern studies.
