Re-inventing the Jewish Past: European Jewish Intellectuals and the Zionist Return to History (Studies in Jewish History) - Hardcover
David Myers' book explores a fascinating and untold chapter in modern Jewish intellectual history: the role of the first generation of Jewish scholars at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in establishing Jewish studies within the framework of a Jewish national university. Committed to rewriting Jewish history according to Zionist standards, these "Jerusalem scholars" richly reflect the tensions that attended their dual allegiances, to both Zionism and the discipline of history.

Review:
"...A shrewd portrait of a group of European Jewish intellectuals transplanted to the Middle East, through which we learn a great deal about the relationship between intelectuals, nationalism, and colonial movements in general."--Tikkun
"In his facility with the world of the Yishuv--the pre-state Jewish settlement in Palestine--as well as European Jewry in both primary and secondary sources, Myers is virtually in a class of his own. This study is a singular and stunning contribution to Jewish and general scholarship."--The
Historian
"...a very good book, and it fits squarely into the concerns of those historians who are increasingly attracted to the broader question of the contrast between critical history and collective popular memory."--Central European History, Vol.30, No.1, 1997
