{"product_id":"walled-sylvain-cypel-9781590512104","title":"Walled: Israeli Society at an Impasse","description":"An award-winning journalist explores the culture of denial in Israeli and Palestinian societies-and its lethal consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWalled examines the contemporary state of mind of Israel's citizens, tracing the history of the State of Israel back to the Jewish national movement and the beginnings of Zionism. Sylvain Cypel offers a lucid analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian situation and powerfully demonstrates that the wall of protection erected in the West Bank by Israel is the most visible symptom of a society in peril. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThose who are walled, Cypel argues, are first and foremost the Israelis themselves, who have chosen to ignore rather than acknowledge the existence and rights of their neighbors. Through the study of political discourse, intellectual controversy, and national institutions such as the army and the educational system, Cypel illuminates the mechanics of the culture of force that has led Israeli society into its current impasse. Walled combines historical, cultural, and sociological analysis with personal testimonies and a delightful Jewish wit, offering a cogent and gripping portrait of two peoples walled by denial: Israeli society and its \"other,\" the Palestinians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvain Cypel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590512103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590512104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.42w x 1.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/02\/2007 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2007 pg. 371\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/13\/2007 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/14\/2008 pg. 23","brand":"Sylvain Cypel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522553540863,"sku":"9781590512104","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_636b0c99-5745-4d17-b08a-7f91617673f8.jpg?v=1700157859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walled-sylvain-cypel-9781590512104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
