Israel has changed. The country was born in Europe's shadow haunted by the Holocaust & inspired by the Enlightenment. But for Israelis today Europe is hardly relevant & the country's ties to the broader West even to America are fraying. Where is Israel heading? How do citizens of an increasingly diverse nation see themselves globally & historically? In this revealing portrait of the new Israel Diana Pinto presents a country simultaneously moving forward & backward looking outward & turning in on itself. In business Israel is forging new links with the giants of Asia & its booming science & technology sectors are helping define the future for the entire world. But in politics & religion Israelis are increasingly self-absorbed building literal & metaphorical walls against hostile neighbors & turning to ancient religious precepts for guidance here & now. Pinto captures the new moods & mindsets the anxieties & hopes of Israelis today in sharply drawn sketches of symbolically charged settings. She takes us on the roads to Jerusalem to border control at Ben Gurion Airport to a major Israeli conference in Jerusalem to a hill overlooking the Dome of the Rock & Temple Mount to the heart of Israel's high-tech economy & to sparkling new malls & restaurants where people of different identities share nothing more than a desire to ignore one another. Vivid & passionate but underpinned by deep analysis this is a profound & sometimes unsettling account of a country that is no longer where we might think. ...
