The triumph of Zionism has clouded recollection of competing forms
of Jewish nationalism vying for power a century ago. This study
explores alternative ways to construct the modern Jewish nation.
Jewish nationalism emerges from this book as a Diaspora phenomenon
much broader than the Zionist movement. Like its non-Jewish
counterparts, Jewish nationalism was first and foremost a movement
to nationalize Jews, to construct a modern Jewish nation while
simultaneously masking its very modernity. Diaspora Nationalism and
Jewish Identity in Habsburg Galicia traces this process in what was
the second largest Jewish community in Europe, Galicia. The history
of this vital but very much understudied community of Jews fills a
critical lacuna in existing scholarship while revisiting the
broader question of how Jewish nationalism - or indeed any modern
nationalism - was born. Based on a wide variety of sources, many
newly uncovered, this study challenges the still-dominant Zionist
narrative by demonstrating that Jewish nationalism was a part of
the rising nationalist movements in Europe.
