How a Rece was Imagined

Shlomo Sand

S. SAND (b.1946) is a historian and Professor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University, where he taught Contemporary History. Son of Polish parents, of Yiddish culture and Holocaust survivors, he was born and spent the first two years of his life in a "camp for displaced persons" before his family emigrated to Israel, where he did his compulsory military service and fought in the Six Day War (1967). He received his PhD in 1982 from the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris. His research has focused on modern cultural history, the Zionist movement and the construction of Israel. With translations in more than 30 countries, How the Jewish People Were Invented (2008), How the "Land of Israel" Was Invented (KKYM+P.OR.K, 2021) and How I Stopped Being Jewish (2013) have given him worldwide projection.
