Vingtième Siècle. Revue d'histoire - Année 1999 - Volume 62 - Numéro 1 - Pages 123-138et arabes, avaient eu tendance à nier. Autant de débats passionnels qui appellent une analyse dépassionnée. Of the Difficulty of Writing National Israeli History, Véronique Meimoun. Myths die hard and Israël's history is no exception. Relying on a few myths solidly defended by powerful institutions (the army, for example); the Hebrew nation has not encouraged very much the development of critical analyses that might undermine its cohesion. The works the new Israeli school of history has produced have spawned fierce controversy, while reintroducing a complexity that the participants, Jews and Arabs, had a tendency to deny. So many passionate debates that call for a dispassionate analysis. 16 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
