Israel: A History in 100 Cartoons

Autor Colin Shindler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – feb 2023
Since its establishment in 1948, the state of Israel has not ceased to be a unique and controversial entity: vehemently opposed by some, and loyally supported by others. In this novel and original study, Colin Shindler tells the history of Israel through the unusual vehicle of cartoons - all drawn by different generations of irreverent and contrarian Israeli cartoonists. Richly illustrated with a cartoon for every year since Israel's establishment until 2020, Shindler offers new perspectives on Israel's past, politics, and people. At once incisive and hilarious, these cartoons, mainly published in the Israeli press, capture significant flashpoints, and show how the country's citizens felt about and responded to major events in Israel's history. A leading authority on Israel Studies, Shindler contextualises the cartoons with detailed timelines and commentaries for every year. Sometimes funny and sometimes tinged with tragedy, Shindler offers a new, visually exciting, and accessible way to understand Israel's complex history and, in particular, the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Recenzii

'A leading expert on the history and politics of Israel, Professor Shindler has endeavoured something unique in this engaging book. Through 100 cartoons and accompanying commentary that draws on his extensive understanding of the issues, Shindler provides an illuminating and very welcome addition to the literature on Zionism and Israel.' Rory Miller, Georgetown University in Qatar
'Professor Shindler uses the medium of cartoons to reflect on the major issues that have faced Israel. Selecting just one cartoon for each year out of many thousands is no easy task, but Shindler's selections and commentary highlight the key issues and personalities in a way which no other previous political analysis has attempted.' David Newman, Ben-Gurion University
'Professor Shindler has added a new dimension to his highly esteemed body of writing on Jewish and Israeli history. Cartoons and caricatures offer vividness and insights to conventional historiography. This is an instructive and entertaining new book.' Itamar Rabinovich, Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States
'It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Colin Shindler's outstanding collection of cartoons, with comments and timelines, sheds light on the Palestinian Arab/Israeli conflict. This innovative format makes it an outstanding teaching resource and a must-read for those interested in gaining greater insight into this conflict.' Suzanne D. Rutland, University of Sydney
'In this excellent academic study on contemporary Israel's history, carefully selected images are not merely illustrations, but they reflect the atmosphere of a certain time, convey multiple meanings, and signal the power of interpretations. They encourage readers to reflect on emotions, the ever-present but oft-forgotten driver of human activities.' Joanna Dyduch, Jagiellonian University
