This volume contains the first broad selection of essays made
available in English by Ber Borochov, one of the leading
intellectuals of the early Zionist movement. Borochov founded the
Labor Zionist party in 1906, and was the pillar of the Israeli
Labor party from whose ranks arose such figures as David Ben-Gurion
and Itzhak Ben-Tsvi. He is best remembered for his ability to
synthesize socialism and nationalism.Borochov argues that early
Marxist theory failed to understand the causes of nationalism and
views it only as a temporary phenomenon. Borochov tried to
synthesize socialism with Jewish nationalism. Zionism was a
movement necessary to free oppressed Eastern European Jews and
permit them to further socialist ideals in their own nation-state.
The dilemma is that socialist internationalism requires national
culture to be of no further value once a socialist victory occurs
in a country. Borochov's essays provide an important, if largely
unknown perspective on these questions.
