Abstract

Meir Yaari (1897-1987) was the leader of Hashomer Hatza'ir, a movement which took an active part in shaping the history of the Jewish people in the crucial decades of the twentieth century. Its Kibbutzim had a leading role in matters of aliyah, settlement, and defense in mandatory Palestine and then independent Israel, and its members were among the organizers of Jewish resistance and revolt during the Holocaust. This biography discusses pivotal issues in the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, such as the friction between Zionism and socialism, the Arab question, the absorption of new immigrants, and generation gaps and conflicts. The book blends individual and collective perspectives and never loses sight of the tension between ideology and reality.

Abstract

Between 1920 and 1922, hundreds of members of the Hashomer Hatzair youth movement left the defunct Habsburg Monarchy and sailed to Palestine, where a small group of members of the movement established Upper Bitania, one of the communities that laid the foundation for Israel's kibbutz movement. Their social experiment lasted only eight months, but it gave birth to a powerful myth among Jewish youth which combined a story about a heroic Zionist deed, based on the trope of tragedy, with a model for a new type of community that promised no less than a total, absolute elimination of all physical and mental barriers between isolated individuals and their fusion into one entity. This entity was named "the erotic community." In its quest for human regeneration, Upper Bitania embarked on a journey into a highly specific variant of modern life that, at its core, tried to combine the most profound Nietzscheanism with the insights of Sigmund Freud, all in an anti-capitalist quest for an organic community of "new men." The quest for a "new man" was to compensate for a crisis of manliness and betrays an obsession with masculinity and male bonding, and their effects on the ideal man and woman.

Abstract

"'Hakibbutz Ha'artzi, Mapam, and the Demise of the Israeli Labor Movement' tells the story of Israel's political transformation between the 1950s and the 1970s. It asks how the Israeli Labor movement, which played a leading role in building the country, lost its hegemony to the political Right in the 1977 elections and analyzes the historical origins of this dramatic event, known as the 'upheaval' (mahapach). Elmaliach argues that the political upheaval was the result of a long-term internal crisis in the Labor movement, beginning in the mid-1950s, during which its public support gradually collapsed until it reached the low point of the 1977 elections. In so doing, he seeks to offer an innovative analysis, suggesting that the crisis that led to the collapse of the Labor movement was the outcome of the manner in which its power had been built, and that it was rooted in the economic, social, political, and cultural processes that were at the foundation of its hegemony-in other words, that the sources of the Labor movement's strength were also the causes of its weakness"--Provided by publisher.
