Event details: The Invention of the Jewish People
Description
The Israelites were never exiled from the Promised Land - and therefore have no right to return. And the present-day Palestinian Arabs are the true heirs of the biblical Jews. So finds Professor Shlomo Sand in âThe Invention of the Jewish Peopleâ, the book that sent shock waves across Israeli society.
âI could not have gone on living in Israel without writing this book. I donât think books can change the world â" but when the world begins to change, it searches for different books.â Shlomo Sand
After nearly two years on Israelâs bestseller list; its translation into more than a dozen languages and winning Franceâs coveted Aujourdâhui Award - given by journalists to the best work of historical or political non-fiction - âThe Invention of the Jewish Peopleâ is finally available in English.
Hear him speak at SOAS, his only UK lecture.
