The Challenge of Post-Zionism - Alternatives to Israeli Fundamentalist Politics

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.>
