Homeland or Holy Land?: The Canaanite Critique of Israel

By James S. Diamond

Book Overview

"Profound, demanding, but lucid and well organized, Diamond's book is a class act " --Choice

" . . . sensitive, magisterial study . . . " --Macleans

" . . . a great interest to serious readers." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch

" . . . a superb piece of research, empathetic yet clear-headed evaluation. But there is also wit, elegance and personal passion on these scholarly pages." --The Jewish Spectator

Homeland or Holy Land? is the study of a man and a movement--the man is Yonatan Ratosh, Hebrew poet and thinker, and the movement is Zionism, the ideological foundation of the Jewish state, Israel.
