Summary:

"Combining historical research and cultural analysis, Maoz Azaryahu explores the different myths that have been part of the vernacular and perception of Tel-Aviv. He relates Tel Aviv's mythology to its physicality through buildings, streets, personal experiences, and municipal policies. With critical insight, he evaluates specific myths and their propagation in the spheres of both official and popular culture."--Jacket.
