Tel Aviv University Press

The NADAV Foundation supports the publication of a series of books published by the Tel Aviv University publishing house. The books deal with questions such as:

• Issues of group identity, both in the past and present.
• Identity in the rapidly changing world, where people, ideas, and technologies pass quickly from one end of the globe to the other.
• How communities maintain or change their identity
• How do people decide what their "main" identity is and what are the parameters that make people what they "really" are.

The series will offer readers original works and translations examining strategies dealing with these issues.

To date the series encompasses 5 books:

• The Jewish Century (Princeton University Press, 2004) by Yuri Slezkine. The book won the National Jewish Book Award and the Wayne F. Vucinich Award.
• La prison juive (Odile Jacob, 2003) by Jean Daniel, a key figure in French intellectual life and the founder of La Nouvel Observateur
• Trickster Travels (Hill and Wang, 2006) by Natalie Davis, one of the most important American historians of our time and former head of the American Historical Association.
• Fragmentation and Redemption (MIT Press, 1992) by Carolyn Walker Bynum. A historian of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies
• Impasse in India (Harvard University Press, 2007) by Martha Nussbaum, the renowned University of Chicago philosopher
