Course Description:
How did the modern
nation-state of Israel emerge against a backdrop of a wide range of different
views of nationalism among 19th- and early 20th-century Jews? Why did some Jews support the idea of a
Jewish state and others oppose it? In this
course, we will study the origins and development of Zionism as a form of
modern Jewish nationalism, the emergence of different Zionist ideological
streams, and non-Zionist, anti-Zionist, and post-Zionist views of Jews and
non-Jews. We will also explore Zionism as a case study of relations of religion
and nationalism in modernity.
