Product Description
For two centuries, according to Alain Dieckhoff, the Jews were remarkable experimenters. He recounts the tortuous process through which the Jews reacted to the challenge of modernity, tracing two contradictory paths -the path of assimilation (bourgeois or socialist) and that of nationalism.The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various ideologies that constitute Zionism, ranging from Marxist-Zionism to National Religious Zionism to that of the far-right Abba Achimeir. Unlike other studies of the topic, this book makes explicit the debt the Zionists owed to French thinkers and European ideologues, notably those associated with the French Revolution and the Enlightenment.
