The Invention of the Jewish People - by Shlomo Sand (Paperback)

The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand is a groundbreaking historical tour de force that challenges long-held myths and taboos surrounding Jewish and Israeli history.

This book offers a new account of Jewish history that demands to be read and reckoned with, providing a bold analysis of nationalism and its role in shaping Israel's formation.

Sand argues that most Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered far across the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and proposes a new narrative of Israel's formation.

This iconoclastic work of history provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future, one that is secular and democratic.

The central importance of the conflict in the Middle East ensures that Sand's arguments will reverberate well beyond the historians and politicians he takes to task.
