Congratulations to Polonsky Academy Fellow, Dr. Avi-ram Tzoreff on publishing his book
Kedma Mizraha: R. Binyamin, Binationalism and Counter-Zionism
This book focuses on the character of the author Yehoshua Radler-Feldman (R. Binyamin; hereinafter: RB). RB was one of the fiercest critics of the processes involved in the creation of the Zionist Yishuv in Palestine from within the Yishuv itself. These processes included the adoption of spatial and economic practices as well as sociolinguistic and cultural perceptions. Accordingly, his attitudes provide a foundation for a critical examination of these processes and for a better understanding of the hegemonic Zionist cultural repertoire in its historical contexts. This can in turn inform an examination of the repertoire of the different patterns of resistance that were created through RB’s attempts to confront hegemonic Zionist discourse.
