Zionism Reconsidered

From the beginnings of Zionism in the nineteenth century, there has been a large body of Jewish thought that has questioned or opposed the idea of Jewish Nationalism and political power-seeking. Zionism Reconsidered is the first anthology devoted to the presentation of such views. It offers a remark-able spectrum of Jewish thinkers and writers dissent-ing from the idea of Zionism on Jewish grounds—from the traditionalist Rabbi Shulem ben Schneersohn to such contemporaries as Hannah Arendt, Philip Roth, and David Riesman.
MICHAEL SELZER, editor of Zionism Reconsidered, is a young critic, scholar, and commentator on Jewish affairs. He is the author of The Wineskin and the Wizard, also published by Macmillan.
