Its Kibbutzim had a leading role in matters of aliyah, settlement, and defense in mandatory Palestine and then independent Israel, and its members were among the organizers of Jewish resistance and revolt during the Holocaust. This biography discusses pivotal issues in the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, such as the friction between Zionism and socialism, the Arab question, the absorption of new immigrants, and generation gaps and conflicts. The book blends individual and collective perspectives and never loses sight of the tension between ideology and reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is an excellent book, one that I enjoyed reading very much. Halamish is an extraordinary historian and storyteller. It is also important for me to note that even though I was born and educated in Israel, I learned much and gained new insights into the kibbutz movement by reading this volume. … This book has significant relevance for Israeli society today.” —Moti Gigi, Sapir College, \u003ci\u003eIsrael Studies Review\u003c\/i\u003e Vol. 33, No. 3\u003c\/p\u003e -- Moti Gigi * Israel Studies Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Reisha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Vienna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Bitaniyya Illit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Founding a Kibbutz Movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: A Wife and Helpmate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: Ideological Collectivism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 7: Facing the Catastrophe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 8: Facing the Forces of Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 9: A Gaping Abyss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 10: Against the Current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 11: From Military Glory to Marking Time in the Opposition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 12: Unrequited Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 13: In the Shadow of Big Brother\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 14: The Kibbutz during the Transition from Yishuv to State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 15: For Zionism, for Socialism, for the Brotherhood of the Nations—and in That Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 16: Fractured Beliefs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 17: The Rebellion of the Sons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 18: A Dove with Folded Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 19: Twilight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 20: Epilogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359759139159,"sku":"9781618119834","price":30.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618119834.jpg?v=1754125628","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kibbutz-utopia-and-politics-the-life-and-times-of-meir-yaari-1897-1987-9781618119834","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
