While the ideologies of Territorialism and Zionism originated at
the same time, the Territorialists foresaw a dire fate for Eastern
European Jews, arguing that they could not wait for the Zionist
Organization to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. This
pessimistic worldview led Territorialists to favor a solution for
the Jewish state ""here and now""-and not only in the Land of
Israel. In Zionism without Zion: The Jewish Territorial
Organization and Its Conflict with the Zionist Organization, author
Gur Alroey examines this group's unique perspective, its struggle
with the Zionist movement, its Zionist rivals' response, and its
diplomatic efforts to obtain a territory for the Jewish people in
the first decades of the twentieth century. Alroey begins by
examining the British government's Uganda Plan and the ensuing
crisis it caused in the Zionist movement and Jewish society. He
details the founding of the Jewish Territorial Organization (ITO)
in 1903 and explains the varied reactions that the Territorialist
ideology received from Zionists and settlers in Palestine. Alroey
also details the diplomatic efforts of Territorialists during their
desperate search for a suitable territory, which ultimately never
bore fruit. Finally, he attempts to understand the reasons for the
ITO's dissolution after the Balfour Declaration, explores the
revival of Territorialismwith the New Territorialists in the 1930s
and 1940s, and describes the similarities and differences between
the movement then and its earlier version. Zionism without Zion
sheds new light on the solutions Territorialism proposed to
alleviate the hardship of Eastern European Jews at the start of the
twentieth century and offers fresh insights into the challenges
faced by Zionism in the same era. The thorough discussion of this
under-studied ideology will be of considerable interested to
scholars of Eastern European history, Jewish history, and Israel
studies.
