Israel emerged in 1948 amid war, mass displacement, and the arrival of Jewish refugees from across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. In the years that followed, the new state absorbed a population nearly equal to its own while building the institutions needed to survive.
From Exile, Israel places that experience at the center of modern Israeli history. Beginning with the Jewish connection to the land and the long history of exile, the book follows the rise of Zionism, British restrictions on Jewish immigration, the Holocaust, independence, and the mass migrations that transformed the country after 1948.
It examines the arrival of Jews from Yemen, Iraq, North Africa, the Soviet Union, Ethiopia, and elsewhere, along with the wars, political struggles, economic pressures, and social divisions that shaped the state they helped build.
The book also considers the major disputes surrounding Israel today, including Zionism, territory, Palestinian nationalism, security, and Israel's legitimacy, placing them within the longer history of Jewish exile, return, and statehood.
