The Hebrew Bible is permeated with depictions of military conflicts that have profoundly shaped the way many think about war. Why does war occupy so much space in the Bible? In this book, Jacob Wright offers a fresh and fascinating response to this question: War pervades the Bible not because ancient Israel was governed by religious factors (such as 'holy war') or because this people, along with its neighbors in the ancient Near East, was especially bellicose. The reason is rather that the Bible is fundamentally a project of constructing a new national identity for Israel, one that can both transcend deep divisions within the population and withstand military conquest by imperial armies. Drawing on the intriguing interdisciplinary research on war commemoration, Wright shows how biblical authors, like the architects of national identities from more recent times, constructed a new and influential notion of peoplehood in direct relation to memories of war, both real and imagined. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

""For the colonized person, objectivity is always directed against him"" (Frantz Fanon). Colonized persons do not live on what we call (or used to call) the ""colonies"" alone. In general, objective reality, or the ""facts of life"", are very different depending on the kind of life you can afford. This goes for language as well; and it explains both the title of this book, and gives it its ""raison d'être"". It deals with power in language, and asks: Who is really in command when we use ""our"" language? And why does it make sense to talk about a language of power (or lack of it)? The p
