The Jews: An Indigenous People

Revised edition with a new foreword

In the final installment of his seminal Jewish Pride trilogy, Ben M. Freeman takes readers on a powerful journey through 3,000 years of Jewish history. Exploring the origins of Jewish identity and practice and their resonance today, Freeman weaves together anthropology and archaeology while examining globally recognized criteria for indigeneity.

For Jews the world over—long navigating questions of belonging and identity—this book offers grounding and pride. It boldly reclaims the Jewish narrative, affirming without doubt: Jews are indigenous to Israel.
