"Zionism in an Arab Country "explores the relations between the
Zionist establishment in Israel, and the Jewish community in Iraq.
This relationship centered on two organizations: a Zionist movement
and a defense organization. By reviewing the activity of these
organizations, Esther Meir-Glitzstein examines the decade preceding
mass immigration, and reveals the political, societal, economic and
cultural developments that shaped the history of Iraqi Jewry in
this crucial period.
The book covers:
- The relations between the Jewish minority and the Muslim-Arab
majority in Iraq - in the context of the rise of the local national
government, its struggle against British colonialism, and its
efforts to lay foundations of an Iraqi nation.
- Struggles within the Jewish community between different sectors
of society, political groups, and ideologies of the time regarding
Jewish orientation.
- The relationship between the Zionist establishment and Iraqi
Jewry: how it changed during the 1940s, and its operative
ramifications.
- The characteristics and evolution of the Zionist movement in Iraq
in the 1940s, its status as a Jewish community, and its role during
the mass immigration from Iraq.
- Women's role in Zionist activities in Iraq.
- The defense organization in Iraq and the dilemmas entailed in its
existence.
Beyond the main focus on the sphere of Zionist activity,
Meir-Glitzstein also uncovers the basic problems that shaped both
the development of Iraqi Jewry in the 1940s and the policy of the
Zionist establishment - trapped between Arab nationalism and Jewish
nationalism. Finally, she elucidates the reasons and circumstances
that led to the mass immigration of Jewsfrom Iraq to the state of
Israel.""
