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 worlds 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 womens 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 Hitlers Germany to the Ayatollahs Iran today; from subterranean Zionism in Stalins 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.

Arvustused

"This is an extraordinarily rich collection of essays on Zionism in all its known aspects and its little-known dimensions as well. It should be in the library of anyone with an interest in a movement that stands out as one of the transformative forces of recent history."

Alan Dowty, Past President, Association for Israel Studies

"In the volume edited by Colin Shindler, the authors skilfully navigate the intricacies of Zionism. They offer a fresh and insightful characterization of its different facets, internal tensions, and disputes with other ideological currents of Jewish thought. The Handbook may serve as an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of Zionism's foundations, evolution, and contemporary relevance."

Artur Skorek, Chair, European Association of Israel Studies and Adjunct Professor, Jagiellonian University, Kraków

"Colin Shindlers Routledge Handbook on Zionism features both established and new authors writing original essays on familiar and neglected but significant issues. This is a welcome and innovative contribution that unfailingly enlightens even those who have read deeply into the subject."

S. Ilan Troen, Lopin Chair of Modern History, emeritus, Ben-Gurion University and Stoll Family Chair in Israel Studies, emeritus, Brandeis University

"A ground-breaking work which shines a light on the many faces of Zionism, providing context to the current Israel/Palestine debates."

Suzanne D. Rutland, OAM, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney
