A powerful debate on cultural transformation for Israel and Palestine.

Description

In this unique new contribution, Marcelo Svirsky asserts that no political solution currently on offer can provide the cultural marrow necessary to effect a transformation of modes of being and ways of life in the State of Israel.

Controversially, Svirsky argues that the Zionist political project cannot be fixed—it is one that negatively affects the lives of its beneficiaries as well as its victims. Instead, the book aims to generate a reflective attitude, allowing Jewish-Israelis to explore how they may divest themselves of Zionist identities by engaging with dissident rationalities, practices, and institutions.

Ultimately, the production of military hardware and technology that helps Israel control the lives of Palestinians, separate policies, laws and spaces for Jews and Palestinians, are all linked with the production of Zionist subjectivities and modes of being. Overcoming these modes of being is to after Israel.

After Israel by Marcelo Svirsky is commended for its bold political and cultural analysis, challenging Zionism by viewing it as a historical chapter in Palestine. The reviews praise the book's sophisticated theory and detailed critique, offering a fresh perspective beyond traditional "one state" or "two state" debates. It is recognised for its humanist methodologies and its emphasis on cultural transformation as a pathway to resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict. Marcelo Svirsky's work is considered a significant and thought-provoking contribution to reimagining the political landscape in the region.
