Oz Frankel: Coca-Cola, Black Panthers, and Phantom Jets: Israel in the American Orbit, 1967-1973
In his new book, Oz Frankel explores the complex exchanges that increasingly linked Israel and the US in the late 1960s, revealing the impact that American consumerism, military technology, racial strife, and Jewish diasporic culture had on Israeli society at a time of great transition.
Oz Frankel is Associate Professor of history at the New School for Social Research. His scholarship spans several fields, including comparative and transnational history, knowledge production and transmission, popular culture and its audiences, historiography and historical consciousness, and the history of the state. Frankel is also the author of the monograph States of Inquiry: Social Investigations and Print Culture in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the United States (Johns Hopkins, 2006)
