Download or read book Routledge Handbook on Zionism written by Colin Shindler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook, the first of its kind, provides an in- depth examination of the evolution, ideology, history and culture of Zionism and its various movements. Distancing itself from the slogans and cliches of advocacy, the volume provides much-needed context and background on the emergence of Zionism. The Handbook is divided into eight parts – with contributions from some forty of the world’s leading scholars on Zionism –to elucidate its various strands. These include underrepresented areas such as Zionism in the Arab World before the establishment of the State of Israel, Zionism and Marxism, the emergence of the Zionist Right, the language war between Hebrew and Yiddish, the struggle for Jewish women’s suffrage, the poetry of Lea Goldberg, and Zionism in emerging new Jewish communities in locations like Papua New Guinea, Guatemala and Zimbabwe. Another section on Zionism in repressive states stretches from an examination of Zionism in Hitler’s Germany to the Ayatollahs’ Iran today; from subterranean Zionism in Stalin’s Russia to apartheid South Africa. The volume concludes by examining current issues, including the relationship between evangelicals and Zionism in the US, and the representation of Zionism in the age of the internet. Providing a sweeping overview of Zionism in its many forms, the volume will appeal to students, researchers and general readers interested in Jewish studies in the Middle East and beyond, as well as those seeking to understand the roots of contemporary Israel.
Download or read book Aliya written by Liel Leibovitz and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leibovitz focuses on the stories of three generations of immigrants. Marlin and Betty Levin, searching for excitement and ideology, traveled to Palestine before Israel was even created. There, with Marlin working as a reporter and Betty volunteering with the Jewish underground movement, the two witnessed the bloody birth of the Jewish state. Two decades later, Mike Ginsberg, overcome with awe at the heroic Jews who fought for their country in the 1967 war, immigrated as well and was involved in much of Israel's tumultuous history, including the Yom Kippur War. He was a member of Kibbutz Misgav Am during the famous terrorist attach on the infants' nursery there, and he helped repel numerous waves of terrorists attacks on his kibbutz. Finally, Danny and Sharon Kalker and their children left their home in Queens, New York, to move to a West Bank settlement in 2001, during one of the most unsettled phases in Israel's existence.

This book was released on 2004-06-23 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The volume also provides bases for comparisons with other countries whose avowed goals are to educate for democracy and egalitarianism; contributes to the methodology of the policy sciences by demonstrating a complex model of process assessment; and clarifies the theorization of the process in which policy and practice are intertwined, and revert to ideology.

Download or read book Let My People Go written by Pauline Peretz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Jews' mobilization on behalf of Soviet Jews is typically portrayed as compensation for the community's inability to assist European Jews during World War II. Yet, as Pauline Peretz shows, the role Israel played in setting the agenda for a segment of the American Jewish community was central. Her careful examination of relations between the Jewish state and the Jewish diaspora offers insight into Israel's influence over the American Jewish community and how this influence can be conceptualized.To explain how Jewish emigration moved from a solely Jewish issue to a humanitarian question that required the intervention of the US government during the Cold War, Peretz traces the activities of Israel in securing the immigration of Soviet Jews and promoting awareness in Western countries.Peretz uses mobilization studies to explain a succession of objectives on the part of Israel and the stages in which it mobilized American Jews. Peretz attempts to reintroduce Israel as the missing, yet absolutely decisive actor in the history of the American movement to help Soviet Jews emigrate in difficult circumstances.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large and continuing immigration will create problems for the American social and economic systems. The influx will require significant policy initiatives in both the public and private sectors, but the country is more than capable of solving these problems and, in the process, will receive many benefits. The following problems are discussed: (1) immigrants are entering an already-strained economy; (2) many older Americans fear that immigrants' allegiance to their native language constitutes a threat to national unity; and (3) some taxpayers fear that immigrants consume costly social services in excess of their contributions in taxes. However, a tradition of openness to newcomers and acceptance of a unifying civic authority, and recent political and societal changes, such as increased acceptance of cultural diversity, contribute to the immigrants' speedy and positive acculturation. Immigrants are also assisted by voluntary agencies and government programs, new jobs and opportunities, and the efforts of the educational system to understand and promote pluralism and cultural diversity in both formal education and extracurricular activities. The comments of five members of the American Jewish Committee's Task Force on the Acculturation of Immigrants to American Life and a list of the Task Force's members are appended. (FMW)
