Hasidism, Haskalah, Zionism reveals how political and literary
dialogues and conflicts between the Hebrew literature of the
Hasidism, the Jewish Enlightenment, and Zionism interacted with
each other in the nineteenth century. Hannan Hever uses
postcolonial theories and theories of nationality to analyze how
Jews used literature to make sense of hostility directed toward
Jews from their European “host” countries and to set forth
their own ideas and preferences regarding their status, control,
and treatment. In doing so, Hever theorizes the Enlightenment’s
intellectual aims and cultural influences, tracking how the models
of integration crucial to Haskalah gave way to Jewish nationalism
in the twentieth century. The readings in this book are
theoretically informed, setting forward novel claims based on
detailed textual analyses of hasidic tales, Haskalah satires, and
Zionist narratives. Thus, this book tackles a major interpretative
problem visible at the core of modern Hebrew literature—its
radical difficulty in distinguishing between the theological
components of modern Jewish discourse and its national identity.
