Challenge of Post-Zionism: Alternatives to Fundamentalist Politics in Israel »

Ephraim Nimni is a lecturer at the University of New South Wales.

This volume presents the emerging debate, known as Post-Zionism, about the future and characteristics of Israel. Its contributors include some of its main protagonists, Israeli citizens of Jewish and Palestinian background. They explore Post-Zionism's meanings, ambiguities, and prospects, and place it in its political context as Israeli society seems to be reaching an ideological crossroads. They also put forward criticisms of post-Zionism, and explore its implications for "out" groups, including Palestinians, Israeli women, and Jewish people living outside Israel.
