Produktbeschreibung

"Through an exploration of the imagery of the kibbutz in the stormy transition into Israeli statehood, the book argues that the establishment of the State of Israel was a trauma that destabilized the kibbutz's deepest conceptual ground and shifted its history, turning it, politically and culturally, from avant-garde to fetish"--Publisher's description.
