Book Description:
|
Explores how members of the Jewish people have grappled with their identities during the past century in the US and in Eretz Israel, the new centres of Jewry's long historical experience. It examines how the Land of Promise across the Atlantic exerted different influences, and then shows how the prospect of nationalism in the biblically covenanted Promised Land engendered other tensions and transformations.
