Abraham, Isaac and Jacob laid the general foundations of the Israelite nation, but it was Joseph and his brothers who actually began the detailed events of Israelite history.
However, in a sense your Question may be inaccurate, since a few of the chapters toward the end of Genesis are either about Jacob (not Joseph), or are about both Jacob and Joseph, or are about Joseph's brothers.

It's a way neat story!
