In this novel and original study, Colin Shindler tells the history of Israel through the unusual vehicle of cartoons - all drawn by different generations of irreverent and contrarian Israeli cartoonists. Richly illustrated with a cartoon for every year since Israel's establishment until 2020, Shindler offers new perspectives on Israel's past, politics, and people. At once incisive and hilarious, these cartoons, mainly published in the Israeli press, capture significant flashpoints, and show how the country's citizens felt about and responded to major events in Israel's history. A leading authority on Israel Studies, Shindler contextualises the cartoons with detailed timelines and commentaries for every year. Sometimes funny and sometimes tinged with tragedy, Shindler offers a new, visually exciting, and accessible way to understand Israel's complex history and, in particular, the Israel-Palestine conflict.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Jews: caricatures, cartoons, comics\u003cbr\u003e Zionism: Ideology and the building of the state\u003cbr\u003e Before Israel: The road to 1948\u003cbr\u003e A history of Israel: 1949-2020\u003cbr\u003e The 1950s\u003cbr\u003e The 1960s\u003cbr\u003e The 1970s\u003cbr\u003e The 1980s\u003cbr\u003e The 1990s\u003cbr\u003e The 2000s\u003cbr\u003e The 2010s\u003cbr\u003e Collections of works of early Israeli cartoonists.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Jewish studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Jewish studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Jewish%20studies%20%5BJFSR1%5D%22\"\u003eJFSR1\u003c\/a\u003e], 21st century history: from c 2000 - [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on 21st century history: from c 2000 -\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%2221st%20century%20history:%20from%20c%202000%20-%20%5BHBLX%5D%22\"\u003eHBLX\u003c\/a\u003e], 20th century history: c 1900  to c 2000 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on 20th century history: c 1900  to c 2000\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%2220th%20century%20history:%20c%201900%20%20to%20c%202000%20%5BHBLW%5D%22\"\u003eHBLW\u003c\/a\u003e], Middle Eastern history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Middle Eastern history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Middle%20Eastern%20history%20%5BHBJF1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJF1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52415679693080,"sku":"9781009838689","price":24.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009838689i.jpg?v=1784422817","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/israel-a-history-in-100-cartoons-paperback-softback-9781009838689","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
