Yaacov Yadgar highlights the shortcomings of mainstream discourse and offers a novel explanation of Zionist ideology and the Israeli polity. Yadgar argues that secularism?s presumed binary pitting religion against politics is illusory. He shows that the key to understanding this alleged dichotomy is Israel?s interest in maintaining its sovereignty as the nation-state of Jews. This creates a need to mark a majority of the population as Jews and to distinguish them from non-Jews. Coupled with the failure to formulate a viable alternative national identity (either ?Hebrew? or ?Israeli?), it leads the ostensibly secular state to apply a narrow interpretation of Jewish religion as a political tool for maintaining a Jewish majority. 650 0 $a Zionism. 650 0 $a Zionism and Judaism. 650 0 $a Jews $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Jews $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Jews $z Israel $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Israeli. 650 0 $a Sovereignty. 651 0 $a Israel $x Civilization. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Jews $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 $a Jews $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983330 650 7 $a National characteristics, Israeli. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033454 650 7 $a Sovereignty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127379 650 7 $a Zionism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01184468 650 7 $a Zionism and Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01184493 651 7 $a Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204236 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Yadgar, Yaacov, author. $t Sovereign Jews. $d Albany : State University of New York Press, [2017] $z 9781438465357 $w (DLC) 2016031634 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210020313.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706034852.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=319F3BEE19C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
