This groundbreaking work deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land of Israel--and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. n What is a homeland, and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for them throughout the 20thcentury? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest running national struggle of the 20th century. n n Sands account dissects the concept of historical right and tracks the invention of the modern geopolitical concept of the Land of Israel by 19th-century Evangelical Protestants and Jewish Zionists. This invention, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel; it is also what is threatening the existence of the Jewish state today.n
