His movement of people-men and women-increased between World War I and II, in direct contrast to European Jewry's desire to immigrate to the United States. Why would American Jews want to leave America, and what characterized their resettlement? From New Zion to Old Zion analyzes the migration of American Jews to Palestine between the two world wars and explores the contribution of these settlers to the building of Palestine. From New Zion to Old Zion draws upon international archival correspondence, newspapers, maps, photographs, interviews, and fieldwork to provide students and scholars of immigration and settlement processes, the Yishuv (Jewish community in Palestine), and America-Holy Land studies a well-researched portrait of Aliyah.America-Holy Land monographs.JewsColonizationPalestineHistory20th centuryJewsUnited StatesMigrationsHistory20th centuryJews, AmericanPalestineHistory20th centuryUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationPalestineEmigration and immigrationElectronic books.
