Reviews

"A major contribution to the field [that] asks fresh questions. This is the first book of which I am aware that looks at the internal tensions within the early Jewish community in British Mandatory Palestine, deconstructing the notion that there was ever a single Zionist narrative." Peter Haas, Case Western Reserve University
