Postzionism: A Reader

Editat de Professor Laurence Silberstein Contribuţii de Raz Yosef, Ella Shohat, Professor Benny Morris, Professor Gershon Shafir, Professor Baruch Kimmerling, Professor Joel Migdal, Professor Adi Ophir, Professor Oren Yiftachel, Professor Alexander (Sandy) Kedar, Professor Ariella Azoulay, Professor Hannan Hever, Professor Anton Shammas, Professor Yehouda Shenhav, Professor Pnina Motzafi-Haller, Professor Orly Lubin, Professor Erella Shadmi, Daniel Boyarin, Professor Caryn Aviv, Professor David Shneer, Professor Judith Butler, Professor Uri Ram, Professor Azmi Bishara, Jonathan Boyarin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2008
Postzionism first emerged in the mid-1980s in writings by historians and social scientists that challenged the dominant academic versions of Israeli history, society, and national identity. Subsequently, this critique was expanded and sharpened in the writings of philosophers, cultural critics, legal scholars, and public intellectuals.
This reader provides a broad spectrum of innovative and highly controversial views on Zionism and its place in the global Jewish world of the twenty-first century. While not questioning Israel’s legitimacy as a state, many contributors argue that it has yet to become a fully democratic, pluralistic state in which power is shared among all of its citizens. Essays explore current attitudes about Jewish homeland and diaspora as well as the ways that zionist discourse contributes to the marginalization and exclusion of such minority communities as Palestinian citizens, Jews of Middle-Eastern origin (Mizrahim), women, and the queer community.

An introductory essay describes Postzionism and contextualizes each contribution within the broader discourse. The most complete collection of postzionist documents available in English, this anthology is essential reading for students and scholars of Jewish identity, Middle-Eastern conflict, and Israeli history.
