The invention of the Jewish people by Shlomo Sand ( Book )
14 editions published between 2008 and 2011 in 6 languages and held by 670 libraries worldwide
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 Israe͏̈l dans les années 1990, l'auteur tente de reconstruire cette histoire en critiquant la politique identitaire de son pays.
