Drawing on Horon's private archive, Roman Vater studies the intellectual sources of the mid-twentieth century Hebrew national ideology, known as \"Canaanism,\" contending this vision can only be properly understood in light of Horon's articulation of its historical \"foundation myth.\" The intellectual and political rivalry between Jewish ethnic nationalism and Hebrew civic nationalism, represented by the \"Canaanite\" challenge to Zionism, continues to inform current debates about Israel's identity and its relation to world Jewry on the one hand and the Arab world on the other-and largely determines Israel's global political alliances to this day. \u003ci\u003eThe Hebrew Falcon\u003c\/i\u003e is indispensable reading for scholars and students of nationalism, Israel, Zionism, and the intellectual and political history of the modern Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoman Vater \u003c\/b\u003eis a by-fellow of Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge.
