Bringing together leading scholars from a range of disciplines, the book offers original analyses organized around three intersecting contestation over Israel’s national identity, the dynamics of democratic backsliding, and the enduring consequences of the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A timely resource to scholars, students, and informed general readers.
