FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Projecting the Nation: History and Ideology on the Israeli Screen is a wide-ranging history of over seven decades of Israeli cinema. The only book in English to offer this type of historical scope was Ella Shohats Israeli Cinema: East West and the Politics of Representation from 1989. Since 1989, however, Israeli cinema and Israeli society have undergone some crucial transformations and, moreover, Shohats book offered a single framework through which to judge Israeli cinema: a critique of orientalism. Projecting the Nation contends that Israeli cinema offers much richer historical and ideological perspectives that expose the complexity of the Israeli project. By analyzing Israeli films which address such issues as the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Ashkenazi-Mizrahi divide, the kibbutz and urban life, the rise of religion in Israeli public life and more, the book explores the way cinema has represented and also shaped our understanding of the history of modern Israel as it evolved from a collectivist society to a society where individualism and adherence to local identities is the dominant ideology. Author Biography Eran Kaplan is the Goldman Professor in Israel Studies at San Francisco State University. He is the author of Beyond Post Zionism, The Jewish Radical Right: Revisionist Zionism and Its Ideological Legacy, and with Derek Penslar of The Origins of Israel, 1882-1948: A Documentary History.
