The Oldest Guard tells the story of Zionist settler memory in and
around the private Jewish agricultural colonies (moshavot)
established in late nineteenth-century Ottoman Palestine. Though
they grew into the backbone of lucrative citrus and wine industries
of mandate Palestine and Israel, absorbed tens of thousands of
Jewish immigrants, and became known as the "first wave" (First
Aliyah) of Zionist settlement, these communities have been
regarded-and disregarded-in the history of Zionism as sites of
conservatism, lack of ideology, and resistance to Labor Zionist
politics. Treating the "First Aliyah" as a symbol created and
deployed only in retrospect, Liora R. Halperin offers a richly
textured portrait of commemorative practices between the 1920s and
the 1960s. Drawing connections to memory practices in other settler
societies, The Oldest Guard demonstrates how private
agriculturalists and their advocates in the Zionist center and on
the right celebrated and forged the "First Aliyah" past, revealing
the centrality of settlement to Zionist collective memory and the
politics of Zionist settler "firstness."
