Episode 327: The Myth of the 12 Tribes of Israel - Andrew Tobolowsky

Andrew Tobolowsky, author of a new book entitled The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, joins Dan and Lex to talk about what the Twelve Tribes myth is, the ways in which groups have mobilized it -- all around the world -- for a few thousand years, and how that conversation can help us better understand how people (and communities) construct their identities.
