Founded in 1909 as a ""garden suburb"" of the Mediterranean port of Jaffa, Tel Aviv soon became a model of Jewish self-rule and was celebrated as a jewel in the crown of Hebrew revival. Combining historical approach and cultural analysis, this work explores the different myths that have been part of the vernacular and perception of the city.
