The result is a study illuminating both Freud's thinking and that of Said, on whom the great psychoanalyst was a formative influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWas Moses Jewish or an Egyptian? The question undermines any simple ascription of identity, highlighting the limits of these categories. Said suggests that such an unresolved, nuanced sense of identity might, if embodied in political reality, form the basis for a new understanding between Jews and Palestinians. In contrast, Israel's relentless march towards an exclusively Jewish state denies any sense of a more complex, inclusive past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an introduction by Christopher Bollas and a response by Jacqueline Rose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burley Fisher Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56717481574777,"sku":"9781836740414","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/burleyfisherbooks.com\/products\/9781836740414","provider":"Burley Fisher Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
