Through a cast of artists, rabbis, poets, lawyers, activists, journalists, and politicians--from Europe and Africa and Asia and Latin America--Moser traces a lineage of Jewish dissenters who confronted Zionism's moral and political stakes--often at devastating personal cost, including censorship, exile, and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir lives form a sweeping, global narrative that dismantles a powerful myth: that anti-Zionism is synonymous with antisemitism. Spanning continents and centuries, these voices--people from the right and the left, Reform and Orthodox, Ashkenazic and Sephardic, men and women, gay and straight--differ sharply in belief and background, yet converge on a shared warning about the consequences of a nationalist project built on exclusion. What emerges is not only a rediscovered tradition of Jewish moral thought, but a startling reappraisal of Zionism itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoser's work restores the full scale and depth of Jewish ethical imagination, affirming that Judaism is older and larger than any single political project. Lucid, unsparing, and deeply humane, \u003ci\u003eAnti-Zionism\u003c\/i\u003e cements Moser's place as one of our foremost Jewish writers and presents a framework through which this history--and its meanings--will be understood for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBENJAMIN MOSER is the author of \u003ci\u003eWhy This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book of 2009.
