| The Question of Zion Subjects: Zionism -- History -- 20th century; Zionism -- Psychological aspects; Arab-Israeli conflict -- Psychological aspects; Palestinian Arabs -- Crimes against -- Israel; Psychoanalysis -- Political aspects -- Israel; Holocaust Jewish (1939–1945) -- Influence; ; Zionism was inspired as a movement--one driven by the search for a homeland for the stateless and persecuted Jewish people. Yet it trampled the rights of the Arabs in Palestine. Today it has become so controversial that it defies understanding and trumps reasoned public debate. So argues prominent British writer Jacqueline Rose, who uses her political and psychoanalytic skills in this book to take an unprecedented look at Zionism--one of the most powerful ideologies of modern times. Jacqueline Rose is Professor of English at Queen Mary University of London. She is the author of The Haunting of Sylvia Plath , States of Fantasy , the novel Albertine , and On Not Being Able to Sleep: Psychoanalysis in the Modern World (Princeton). |
