The plight of thesetraumatized refugees inspired numerous proposals for Jewish states. Jews andChristians, authors and adventurers, politicians and playwrights, and rabbisand revolutionaries all worked to carve out autonomous Jewish territories inremote and often hostile locations across the globe. The would-be foundingfathers of these imaginary Zions dispatched scientific expeditions to far-flungregions and filed reports on the dream states they planned to create. But onlyIsrael emerged from dream to reality. Israel?s successful foundation has longobscured the fact that eminent Jewish figures, including Zionism?s prophet,Theodor Herzl, seriously considered establishing enclaves beyond the MiddleEast.In the Shadow of Zion brings to life the amazing truestories of six exotic visions of a Jewish national home outside of the biblicalland of Israel. It is the only book to detail the connections between theseschemes, which in turn explain the trajectory of modern Zionism. A grippingnarrative drawn from archives the world over, In the Shadow of Zionrecovers the mostly forgotten history of the Jewish territorialist movement,and the stories of the fascinating but now obscure figures who championed it.Provocative, thoroughly researched, and written to appeal toa broad audience, In the Shadow of Zionoffers a timely perspective on Jewish power and powerlessness.Visit the author's website: http://www.adamrovner.com/. 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Israel$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / Jewish$2bisacsh 606 $aRELIGION / General$2bisacsh 606 $aZionism$xInfluence 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aJews$xHistory 606 $aJews$xMigrations 606 $aJewish diaspora$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJewish diaspora$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Israel. 615 7$aHISTORY / Jewish. 615 7$aRELIGION / General. 615 0$aZionism$xInfluence. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xMigrations. 615 0$aJewish diaspora$xHistory 615 0$aJewish diaspora$xHistory 676 $a909/.049240821 686 $aREL000000$aHIS022000$aHIS019000$2bisacsh 700 $aRovner$b Adam L., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01775043 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910904000903321 996 $aIn the Shadow of Zion$94288866 997 $aUNINA
