Description: Product Description : Facts on the Ground: Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society Archaeology in Israel is truly a national obsession a practice through which national identityand national rightshave long been asserted But how and why did archaeology emerge as such a pervasive force there How can the practices of archaeology help answer those questions In this stirring book Nadia Abu ElHaj addresses these questions and specifies for the first time the relationship between national ideology colonial settlement and the production of historical knowledge She analyzes particular instances of history artifacts and landscapes in the making to show how archaeology helped not only to legitimize cultural and political visions but far more powerfully to reshape them Moreover she places Israeli archaeology in the context of the broader discipline to determine what unites the field across its disparate local traditions and locationsBoldly uncovering an Israel in which science and politics are mutually constituted this book shows the ongoing role that archaeology plays in defining the past present and future of Palestine and Israel( it is an used product )
