Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "The Idea Of Israel: A History Of Power And
Knowledge" by Ilan Pappe.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/section
titles present/protected, footnotes formatted, fonts adjusted.
346 pages.
Description:
Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has drawn on Zionism, the movement
behind its creation, to provide a sense of self and political direction. In
this groundbreaking new work, Ilan Pappe looks at the continued role of
Zionist ideology. The Idea of Israel considers the way Zionism operates
outside of the government and military in areas such as the country's
education system, media, and cinema, and the uses that are made of the
Holocaust in supporting the state's ideological structure. In particular,
Pappe examines the way successive generations of historians have framed the
1948 conflict as a liberation campaign, creating a foundation myth that went
unquestioned in Israeli society until the 1990s. Pappe himself was part of
the post-Zionist movement that arose then. He was attacked and received
death threats as he exposed the truth about how Palestinians have been
treated and the gruesome structure that links the production of knowledge to
the exercise of power. The Idea of Israel is a powerful and urgent
intervention in the war of ideas concerning the past, and the future, of the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
