SUMMARY:Shaul Magid and Zev Mishell at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Shaul Magid—Professor of Modern Judaism in Residence at Harvard Divinity School—and Zev Mishell—graduate student at Harvard University’s Committee on the Study of Religion—for a discussion of their new book\, Jewish Anti-Zionism: A Historical Anthology. \nAbout Jewish Anti-Zionism\nA collection of texts illustrating the complex reasons why Jews have contested or rejected the Zionist ideal over more than a century.  \nIn the decades since the founding of the state of Israel in 1948\, many have equated Zionism with Jewish identity—and anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Few remember now that the Zionist movement triggered passionate debate among Jews\, with many expressing ambivalence or opposition to the Zionist project. In Jewish Anti-Zionism\, Shaul Magid and Zev Mishell have gathered a broad selection of documents\, written between the late nineteenth century and the present day\, many of them newly translated into English from multiple languages\, revealing the rich variety of Jewish opposition to Zionism over the decades. Following Magid and Mishell’s authoritative introduction on the history of anti-Zionism among Jews\, the book features dozens of texts by Jewish writers from diverse backgrounds discussing why they reject the Zionist idea as the best option for Jewish flourishing. \nThe documents reflect a lively debate carried out though multiple forms—personal letters\, essays\, speeches\, manifestos\, newspaper columns\, and extracts from learned treatises. The authors range from scholars and other thinkers writing well before the establishment of the state of Israel to well-known contemporary voices including Peter Beinart\, Noam Chomsky\, Naomi Klein\, and Judith Butler. Magid and Mishell preface each text with a short introduction that offers historical and ideological context.
