In \u003cem\u003eThe Ten Lost Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e, Zvi Ben-Dor Benite shows for the first time the extent to which the search for the lost tribes of Israel became, over two millennia, an engine for global exploration and a key mechanism for understanding the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the book reveals, the quest for the missing tribes and the fervent belief that their restitution marked a necessary step toward global redemption have been threaded through countless historical moments--from the formation of the first ''world'' empires to the age of discovery, and from the spread of European imperialism to the rise of modern-day evangelical apocalypticism. More than a historical survey of an enduring myth, \u003cem\u003eThe Ten Lost Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e offers a unique prism through which to view the many facets of encounters between cultures, the processes of colonization, and the growth of geographical knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZvi Ben-Dor Benite\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor in the Department of History and the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University.
