In this original and wide-ranging study, Gabriel Piterberg examines
theideology and literature behind the colonization of Palestine,
from the latenineteenth century to the present. Exploring Zionism's
origins in Central-EasternEuropean nationalism and settler
movements, he shows how its texts can beplaced within a wider
discourse of western colonization. Revisiting the work ofTheodor
Herzl and Gershom Scholem, Anita Shapira and David Ben-Gurion,
andbringing to light the writings of lesser-known scholars and
thinkersinfluential in the formation of the Zionist myth, Piterberg
breaks openprevailing views of Zionism, demonstrating that it was
in fact unexceptional,expressing a consciousness and imagination
typical of colonial settlermovements. Shaped by European
ideological currents and the realities ofcolonial life, Zionism
constructed its own story as a unique and impregnableone, in the
process excluding the voices of an indigenous people-thePalestinian
Arabs.
