Reviews

'Laura Almagor offers us a biography of an entire though largely forgotten movement. It is especially relevant to recall this story at a moment of fierce contestation between globalization and a resurgent, territorially based ethnocentric nationalism. What other forms of collective political organization than the nation-state have been proposed over time? How do they hold up? Almagor's study pushes us toward those questions.' David Myers, Professor of Jewish History, UCLA 'In clear and compelling prose, Beyond Zion provides a window onto Jewish international strategies following the collapse of the post-World War I order.' David Engel, New York University Beyond Zion...shows that Jewish politics in the pre-War and immediate post-War years were more complex and diverse than we might think. Simon Rocker, The Jewish Chronicle
