The Origins of Israeli Mythology : Neither Canaanites Nor Crusaders

Omtale

Provides a mapping of Israeli self-perception: deep anxieties, states of mind and metaphors with regard to identity. The Origins of Israeli Mythology recovers a phenomenology of the Israeli-Zionist identity discourse by exploring its mythological roots: the messianic drive, the crusader anxiety, the Canaanite challenge and the Mediterranean option.
