Summary:
"Most Americans are ill-prepared to engage thoughtfully in the increasingly serious debate about
Israel
, its place in the Middle East, and its relations with the United States. Essential
Israel
examines a wide variety of complex issues and current concerns in historical and contemporary contexts to provide readers with an intimate sense of the dynamic society and culture that is
Israel
today. The expert contributors to this volume address the Arab-Israeli conflict, the state of diplomatic efforts to bring about peace, Zionism and the impact of the Holocaust, the status of the Jewish state and Israeli democracy, foreign relations, immigration and Israeli identity, as well as literature, film, and the other arts. This volume provides solid grounding to understandings of
Israel
's history, politics, culture, and possibilities for the future"--Provided by publisher.
