Nevertheless, there remained lingering ambivalence about, and resistance to, American influences. Rather than growing profoundly \"Americanized,\" Israelis forged unique paths into the American orbit. As supporters and immigrants, American Jews assumed an ambiguous role, expediting but also complicating the Israeli-American exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking an expansive view of Israeli–American encounters, historian Oz Frankel reveals their often unexpected consequences, including the ripple effects that the rise of Black Power had on both extremes of Israeli politics, the adoption of American technology that fed the budding Israeli military-industrial complex, the consumerist ideologies that ensnared even IDF soldiers and Palestinians in the newly occupied territories, and the cultural performances that lured Israelis to embrace previously shunned diasporic culture. What made the racial strife in the US and the tensions between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews in Israel commensurable? How did an American military jet emerge as a national fixation? Why was the US considered a paragon of both spectacular consumption and restrained, rational consumerism? In ten topical chapters, this book demonstrates that the American presence in Israel back then, as it is today, was multifaceted and contradictory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  ONE Consumer Modernity and the Everyday\u003cbr\u003e  TWO Keeping Up with the Cohens\u003cbr\u003e  THREE Electioneering and the Feedback Loop\u003cbr\u003e  FOUR Technology Transfer: The Phantom Jet\u003cbr\u003e  FIVE Panthers in Black and White\u003cbr\u003e  SIX American Gangster in the Promised Land\u003cbr\u003e  SEVEN Emissaries of Liberalism in Crisis\u003cbr\u003e  EIGHT Back to Anatevka\u003cbr\u003e  NINE America on Stage\u003cbr\u003e  TEN The American Figure in the Israeli Mind\u003cbr\u003e  Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e  Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e  Notes\u003cbr\u003e  Index\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52610697920792,"sku":"9781503636262","price":111.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/coca-cola-black-panthers-and-phantom-jets-israel-in-the-american-orbit-1967-1973-hardback-9781503636262","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
