Summary

Offering a new perspective on Zionism,Exiled in the Homelanddraws on memoirs, newspaper accounts, and archival material to examine closely the lives of the men and women who immigrated to Palestine in the early twentieth century. Rather than reducing these historic settlements to a single, unified theme, Donna Robinson Divine_s research reveals an extraordinary spectrum of motivations and experiences among these populations. Though British rule and The yearning for a Jewish national home contributed to a foundation of solidarity,Exiled in the Homelandpresents the many ways in which the message of emigration settled into the consciousness of the settlers. Considering the benefits and costs of their Zionist commitments, Divine explores a variety of motivations and outcomes, ranging from those newly arrived immigrants who harnessed their ambition for The goal of radical transformation to those who simply dreamed of living a better life. Also capturing the day-to-day experiences in families that faced scarce resources, As well as the British policies that shaped a variety of personal decisions on the part of the newcomers,Exiled in the Homelandprovides new keys to understanding this pivotal chapter in Jewish history.
