The invention of the Jewish people

All modern nation states have a story of their origins, passed down through both official and popular culture, and yet few of these accounts have proved as divisive and influential as the Israeli national myth. The well-known tale of Jewish exile at the hands of the Romans during the first century CE, and the assertion of both cultural and racial continuity through to the Jewish people of the present day, resonates far beyond Israel's borders. Despite its use as a justification for Jewish settlement in Palestine and the project of a Greater Israel, there have been few scholarly investigations into the historical accuracy of the story as a whole. Here, Shlomo Sand shows that the Israeli national myth has its origins in the nineteenth century, rather than in biblical times--when Jewish historians, like scholars in many other cultures, reconstituted an imagined people in order to model a future nation.--From publisher description.

  • ""Quand le peuple juif fut-il créé? Est-ce il y a quatre mille ans, ou bien sous la plume d'historiens juifs du XIXe siècle qui ont reconstitué rétrospectivement un peuple imaginé afin de façonner une nation future? Dans le sillage de la " contre-histoire " née en Israël dans les années 1990, Shlomo Sand nous entraîne dans une plongée à travers l'histoire " de longue durée " des juifs. Les habitants de la Judée furent-ils exilés après la destruction du Second Temple, en l'an 70 de l'ère chrétienne, ou bien s'agit-il ici d'un mythe chrétien qui aurait infiltré la tradition juive? Et, si les paysans des temps anciens n'ont pas été exilés, que sont-ils devenus? L'auteur montre surtout comment, à partir du XIXe siècle, le temps biblique a commencé à être considéré par les premiers sionistes comme le temps historique, celui de la naissance d'une nation. Ce détour par le passé conduit l'historien à un questionnement beaucoup plus contemporain : à l'heure où certains biologistes israéliens cherchent encore à démontrer que les juifs forment un peuple doté d'un ADN spécifique, que cache aujourd'hui le concept d'" Etat juif ", et pourquoi cette entité n'a-t-elle pas réussi jusqu'à maintenant à se constituer en une république appartenant à l'ensemble de ses citoyens, quelle que soit leur religion? En dénonçant cette dérogation profonde au principe sur lequel se fonde toute démocratie moderne, Shlomo Sand délaisse le débat historiographique pour proposer une critique de la politique identitaire de son pays. Construit sur une analyse d'une grande originalité et pleine d'audace, cet ouvrage foisonnant aborde des questions qui touchent autant à l'origine historique des juifs qu'au statut civique des Israéliens. Paru au printemps 2008 en Israël, il y est très rapidement devenu un best-seller et donne encore lieu à des débats orageux."--Book cover."
