Bestselling new analysis of Jewish history by a leading Israeli historian.
A historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France, Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s future.
Reviews
“Sand's questions about how Israel's democracy can be liberalized and stabilized are thought-provoking and deserve serious discussion.”
– Haaretz

– Eric Hobsbawm, Observer
“[Sand's] quiet earthquake of a book is shaking historical faith in the link between Judaism and Israel.”
– Rafael Behr, Observer
“Anyone interested in understanding the contemporary Middle East should read this book.”
– Tony Judt

从犹太复国主义兴起之时,犹太人就在不断试图回答这样一个问题:“什么是犹太人,什么是犹太民族?” 作者由民族的定义开篇,介绍了犹太人被“发明”的整个历史。 由于长年的流亡生活,犹太人的生活习惯已经与当地民族逐渐融合,只有在宗教信仰上保持着相对的...
评分犹太人是历史上最受种族主义之害的民族,但今天最种族主义的民族是犹太人。人越憎恨什么就会越像什么,这可能是一条公理。 ☆ ☆ ☆ 的确如作者论证的,犹太民族的概念是被生造出来的,但世界上的很多民族,事实上是当今绝大多数民族,都是在19世纪生造出来的(“只有罗马...
评分前不久观看了一部影片,《拜见希特勒》(Mein Führer)。片中的那位德国独裁者被喜剧化为一个胆小敏感、生活在童年阴影、有性功能障碍、祖上还有着犹太人血统的可怜虫。影片一个情节设计得真是惊世骇俗:希特勒夜里睡不着觉,竟然跑到自己的犹太裔心理辅导师的家中,和他的家...
评分犹太人根本就不是一个民族,他过去两千年的兴衰和流浪史,全都是有人出于某种目的虚构出来的。--核心观点。 作者:勇气和洞察力,被称为以色列的敌人。 同情没有以色列身份的巴勒斯坦人,无法忍受以色列法律强加的虚构的民族特性,和自诩上帝选民俱乐部成员。坚定自己彻底消解...
"a book about a confused nation pretending to be a wandering people-race",短短的introduction里充满对“现代犹太民族”的挖苦和讽刺~ 以色列还真够自由的,这样都没把作者抓起来。换土耳其就不行了。

评分第一部分讲了民族主义的形成以及理论,包括安得森想象的共同体等等,民族国家多将起源追溯到先祖神话。第二部分讲犹太民族主义的奠基者和发展者也是如此,使用圣经和考古证据。第三部分质疑大流散叙事。第四部分讲了犹太教是在历史上是积极传教的,包括也门北非卡扎尔,引罗马和教会史家。
