A classic text on Zionism for the 21^st Century

Since its initial publication in 1997, Ahad Ha-am: The Zionism of the Future has become the definitive and standard study of one of Zionism’s most towering and influential figures. The republication of this classic text as an e-book is a cause for celebration for students of history, academics and the general public. No one knows Ahad Ha-am better or is better suited to deal with the life and thoughts of the icon of Hebraic cultural nationalism, and with the multivalent debates and conversations his ideas provoked. The book fills a vital gap in the study of early Zionism and of its greatest purveyor of serious ideas.

Jane Fonda calls for public attention to sexual violence during the Holocaust, read here. The Oscar-winning actress read from And the Rat Laughed at a recent symposium. To watch the symposium see http://sfi.usc.edu/jane_fonda.php It starts about 10 minutes into the video.

And the Rat Laughed is a unique book. Unlike other Holocaust-related books that focus on the historical horrific events, this novel deals with the act of remembering them. It resembles a relay race in which the characters transfer memory from one another, while traveling on the axis of time.
