Emotion lies at the heart of all national movements, and Zionism is
no exception. For those who identify as Zionist, the word connotes
liberation and redemption, uniqueness and vulnerability. Yet for
many, Zionism is a source of distaste if not disgust, and those who
reject it are no less passionate than those who embrace it. The
power of such emotions helps explain why a word originally
associated with territorial aspiration has survived so many years
after the establishment of the Israeli state. Zionism: An Emotional
State expertly demonstrates how the energy propelling the Zionist
project originates from bundles of feeling whose elements have
varied in volume, intensity, and durability across space and time.
Beginning with an original typology of Zionism and a new take on
its relationship to colonialism, Penslar then examines the emotions
that have shaped Zionist sensibilities and practices over the
course of the movement's history. The resulting portrait of Zionism
reconfigures how we understand Jewish identity amidst continuing
debates on the role of nationalism in the modern world.
