• W4366000291 abstract "Reviewed by: Zionism’s Redemptions: Images of the Past and Visions of the Future in Jewish Nationalism by Arieh Saposnik Noam Pianko Arieh Saposnik. Zionism’s Redemptions: Images of the Past and Visions of the Future in Jewish Nationalism. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021. 300 pp. Arieh Saposnik’s Zionism’s Redemptions: Images of the Past and Visions of the Future in Jewish Nationalism confronts a delicate historiographical dilemma: How should scholars interpret the centrality of redemption rooted in messianic visions of Jewish salvation within Zionist ideologies? Ever a flashpoint in debates about nationalism and liberalism, this question about Zionism’s historical relationship with notions of redemption cannot be easily separated from the contentious politics surrounding the post-1948 Jewish state. This book offers readers a [End Page 229] much-needed path through this politicized terrain to look closely at a critical trope in modern Jewish nationalism. Messianic and redemptive political visions do not map simply onto a secular nationalist movement with democratic aspirations. Indeed, scholars tend to view messianic impulses in twentieth-century politics, whether explicitly a call for an extrahistorical religious transformation or secular efforts to reimagine the world through a singular lens, as closely linked to totalitarian movements. Visions of future forms of social and political redemption thus stand in contrast to liberal ideals of multicultural and pluralist societies. An exploration of Zionism’s redemptions must acknowledge, and grapple with, the complex backdrop that modern historians bring to the study of ideologies that espouse very particular political visions of redemption. The strength of this book lies in the nuanced framework that Saposnik adopts to unpack the complexity of redemptive tropes across various Zionist ideologies. The study rejects the bifurcated historiographical legacy of this theme—to read references to redemption as symbolic language disconnected from traditional Jewish notions of messianism or as an embrace of messianic ideas that illustrates the extrahistorical, and perhaps even totalitarian, proclivities within Jewish nationalism. By avoiding the polarizing interpretations, Saposnik opens new ways of categorizing the centrality of visions of redemption in Zionist thought. Zionism’s Redemptions offers the “redemptive dimension” of Jewish nationalism as a novel category for reframing the conversation. Based on this reconceptualization, Saposnik argues that Jewish nationalism’s emphasis on redemption often served to capture a deep yearning for actively engaging in history to bring about universal ends and liberal objectives. Redemptive visions imbued Jewish nationalism with a radical desire to return to history through a variety of ideological perspectives (rather than messianic calls to transcend history). Zionist ideologies, Saposnik argues, turned to this discourse of redemption as a shared backdrop to explore a variety of political, social, and cultural directions—from exclusivist nationalisms that emulated aspects of European totalitarians to utopian ideals of human redemption. The discourse of redemption also served as opportunity to negotiate the relationship between Zionism and contemporary political and religious forces, including European nationalism, Christian notions of salvation, and Jewish religious traditions. Zionism’s Redemptions captures this diversity through textured and nuanced case studies. These case studies illuminate the multivocal conceptions of redemption woven through Zionist ideologies. Readers have the chance to consider this trope across subjects ranging from Diaspora-oriented Jewish nationalists such as Israel Zangwill to Zionists grappling with the presence of Christians who connected their own redemptive visions to the Holy Land. From these examples, Saposnik demonstrates that redemption served as a shared vocabulary for articulating deep internal ideological fragmentations within the Zionist movement. (Thus the significance of the book title’s reference to Zionism’s “redemptions” in the plural.) Saposnik’s study provides a much-needed alternative to viewpoints that perceive particularist nationalism and progressive universalism as inherently [End Page 230] mutually exclusive forces. In contrast, Zionist thinkers developed ideas of redemption that offered national movements as the ideal path toward cosmopolitan objectives. Many of the figures included in this study held these opposing forces together in their visions for the future. Certainly, the historical success of these objectives is a topic of debate. Nevertheless, Zionism’s Redemptions serves as a site to study the complicated relationship between striving for humanistic ends and advancing a nationalist agenda. This book thus sets the foundation for engaging the relationship of nationalist ideologies..." @default.
