{"product_id":"identity-and-territory-eyal-ben-eliyahu-9780520293601","title":"Identity and Territory: Jewish Perceptions of Space in Antiquity","description":"Throughout history, the relationship between Jews and their land has been a vibrant, much-debated topic within the Jewish world and in international political discourse. \u003ci\u003eIdentity and Territory \u003c\/i\u003eexplores how ancient conceptions of Israel--of both the land itself and its shifting frontiers and borders--have played a decisive role in forming national and religious identities across the millennia. Through the works of Second Temple period Jews and rabbinic literature, Eyal Ben-Eliyahu examines the role of territorial status, boundaries, mental maps, and holy sites, drawing comparisons to popular Jewish and Christian perceptions of space. Showing how space defines nationhood and how Jewish identity influences perceptions of space, Ben-Eliyahu uncovers varied understandings of the land that resonate with contemporary views of the relationship between territory and ideology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eyal Ben-Eliyahu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520293606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520293601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020","brand":"Eyal Ben-Eliyahu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054840869119,"sku":"9780520293601","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3967087b-a2e1-4e56-856c-4def7d6c0b20.jpg?v=1685032306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-and-territory-eyal-ben-eliyahu-9780520293601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
