Zusatztext The emergence of post-Zionist scholarship and -- as yet small -- sector of opinion is one of the most welcome developments of recent years. Informationen zum Autor Dr Ephraim Nimni is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Klappentext This volume presents the emerging debate, known as Post-Zionism, about the future and characteristics of Israel. Its contributors include some of its main protagonists, Israeli citizens of Jewish and Palestinian background. They explore Post-Zionism's meanings, ambiguities, and prospects, and place it in its political context as Israeli society seems to be reaching an ideological crossroads. They also put forward criticisms of post-Zionism, and explore its implications for "out" groups, including Palestinians, Israeli women, and Jewish people living outside Israel. Vorwort An in-depth exploration of the meanings and prospects of Post-Zionism. Zusammenfassung As an antidote the growing Israeli fundamentalism, in recent years a lively debate has developed in the Israeli media, intellectual circles and academia about the defining characteristics of Israel and the future. The argument, known as Post-Zionism, challenges some of the fundamental myths surrounding the early history and contemporary identity of the Israeli State.This volume presents this emerging debate. Its contributors include some of its main protagonists, Israeli citizens of Jewish and Palestinian background, including A'sad Ghanem, Uri Ram and Ilan Pappe. They explore Post-Zionism's meanings, ambiguities and prospects.The significance of this volume goes beyond Israel's own emerging post-colonial identity and contains implications for theories of the post-colonial state generally.
