Written by one of Israel's most notable scholars, this volume provides a breathtaking history of Israel from the origins of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century to the present day. Anita Shapira's gripping narrative explores the emergence of Zionism in Europe against the backdrop of relations among Jews, Arabs and Turks, and the earliest pioneer settlements in Palestine under Ottoman rule. Weaving together political, social and cultural developments in Palestine under the British mandate, Shapira creates a tapestry through which to understand the challenges of Israeli nation-building, including mass immigration, shifting cultural norms, the politics of war and world diplomacy, and the creation of democratic institutions and a civil society. References to contemporary diaries, memoirs and literature bring a human dimension to the story of Israel, from its declaration of independence in 1948 through successive decades of waging war, negotiating peace, and building a modern state with a vibrant society and culture. Based on archival sources and the most up-to-date scholarly research, this authoritative history is a must-read for anyone with a passionate interest in Israel and the Middle East. ISRAEL: A HISTORY will be the gold standard in the field for years to come.

For the last two centuries, the nation state has posed a formidable challenge to multinational empires. It has served as a base for modernisation, secularisation and democratisation -- and also for the formation of totalitarian regimes. Today, the nation state faces challenges from multiple directions. National minorities demand self-determination while religious forces challenge secular governments, and global migration movements destroy the cultural uniformity once considered essential for the formation and preservation of nation states. The Nation State and The Resurgence of Faith is the second of a three-volume set which addresses key challenges facing the contemporary nation state from a global perspective but with special emphasis on the Middle East and Israel. Publication reflects research conducted under the auspices of The Israel Democracy Institute's Nation State Project, which analyses Israel's complex reality in which a Jewish majority contends with an Arabminority, ultra-Orth

The third title of a three-volume set, The Nation State and Immigration addresses key challenges facing the contemporary nation state from a global perspective but with special emphasis on the Middle East and Israel. This volume explores the cultural, social, and political effects of immigration on the contemporary nation state--its character, cohesion, and possible future, as well as on contemporary liberal democracy. Contributions deal with such issues as different liberal approaches to the issue of immigration and immigrant integration, nation-building narratives and their implications for immigrants and minorities, citizenship tests and integration policy in the United States and in Europe, as well as Israel's Law of Return and the debate about it and other aspects of immigration policy.

Die Historikerin Anita Shapira legt die erste maßgebliche Biographie Berl Katznelsons, einer der führenden Persönlichkeiten der jüdischen Arbeiterbewegung, vor. Shapira schildert seinen Lebensweg von seinem revolutionären Beginn im zaristischen Rußland bis zur Übersiedlung nach Palästina, vom Optimismus der ersten Jahre der britischen Mandatsregierung bis zu den tragischen Ereignissen des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Dieses Buch ist nicht nur das Dokument des Aufbaus des jüdischen Palästina und seiner neuen Kolonisation, sondern auch das Zeugnis des ungewöhnlichen Lebenswegs eines der scharfsinnigsten Repräsentanten des sozialistischen Zionismus.
