Making Israel

edited by Benny MorrisPublication Details
BookUniversity of Michigan Press2007Links
Description
With Making Israel, Morris brings together the first collection of translated articles on the New History by leading Zionist and revisionist Israeli historians, providing Americans with a firsthand view of this important debate and enabling a better understanding of how the New Historians have influenced Israelis’ awareness of their own past. “The study of Israeli history, society, politics, and economics over the past two decades has been marked by a fierce and sometimes highly personal debate between ‘traditionalists’—scholars who generally interpreted Israeli history and society within the Zionist ethos—and ‘revisionists’—scholars who challenged conventional Zionist narratives of Israeli history and society.

The Invention Of Scotland : Myth And History
Attribution
Hugh Trevor-RoperPublication Details
BookYale University Press2008Description
This book argues that while Anglo-Saxon culture has given rise to virtually no myths at all, myth has played a central role in the historical development of Scottish identity. While his treatment of Scottish myth is highly critical, indeed debunking, he shows how the ritualization and domestication of Scotland?s myths as local color diverted the Scottish intelligentsia from the path that led German intellectuals to a dangerous myth of racial supremacy.
