| Summary/Abstract |
Geography textbooks, like other cultural artifacts, are usually left as unexploited-raw. Ever since its founding, Tel-Aviv has been represented in geography textbooks in a very positive light-the "European oasis in the East". The dominant line in presenting the city remains-a created artifact that testifies to the vitality and power of Zionism, the center of the State of Israel, the very heart of its economy, culture, and society. It is integrated into the processes of globalization, the contemporary symbols of "world cities" apply to it as well.
