A portrait of a deeply complex society, laying bare the contradictions that make Israel both problematic and fascinating. The author views it as a country in a constant state of military alert and at the same time the least militarist by inclination. He describes it as a secular state increasingly dominated by ultra-Orthodox forces. The founding fathers were European Jews who now find themselves outnumbered by Oriental Jews. Israelis, whatever their origin and politics, now find themselves increasingly in confrontation with a rapidly growing Palestinian population. The clash of rival Jewish and Arab nationalism seems increasingly intractable. The kibbutzim, repositories of political idealism are close to bankruptcy. Although he found Israelis to be urban and highly cultured people they could at the same time be curt and ill-mannered. Aggression and fear, the author reveals, walks hand in hand and Jerusalem, a beautiful and unique city is filled with tension. Stephen Brook has also written "The Club: The Jews of Modern Britain".

Vendeur : Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Royaume-Uni
hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
