What is a homeland and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longestrunning national struggle of the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries.The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the ageold legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. Sands account dissects the concept of historical right and tracks the creation of the modern concept of the Land of Israel by nineteenthcentury 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 threatening the existence of the Jewish state today.
