Author Information - Contents - Reviews - Publication Details - Prizes
'Accessible
. . . As a narrative, it should keep readers intrigued . . . useful for
novices and for those moderately familiar with the topic. . . . the perspective
and the range of topics addressed are broad . . . the strength of this
volume is the way in which it places the trends and conflicts within the
kibbutz movement and between the kibbutz movement and the Jewish world
into perspective. This is Near's main task, and he does a fine job of
it.'
Alan F. Benjamin, H-Judaic
'Of great importance . . . The most comprehensive history of the kibbutz
movement to date.'
Yuval Dror, Zmanim
