Israel, Diaspora, and the Routes of National Belonging

More about the book

Through her four-year participatory observation of tours and events related to Israel, Jasmin Habib explores the complexities of North American Jews' connections to Israel. She critiques the prevailing literature for overlooking their responses to official narratives and highlights an "official silence" regarding the negative impacts of nationalist sentiments. This examination sheds light on the nuanced perspectives within the Jewish diaspora and challenges dominant narratives about their relationship with Israel.
