520 "From the late nineteenth century through the post-
Holocaust era, the world was divided between countries
that tried to expel their Jewish populations and those
that refused to let them in. The plight of these
traumatized refugees inspired numerous proposals for
Jewish states. Jews and Christians, authors and
adventurers, politicians and playwrights, and rabbis and
revolutionaries all worked to carve out autonomous Jewish
territories in remote and often hostile locations across
the globe. The would-be founding fathers of these
imaginary Zions dispatched scientific expeditions to far-
flung regions and filed reports on the dream states they
planned to create. But only Israel emerged from dream to
reality. Israel's successful foundation has long obscured
the fact that eminent Jewish figures, including Zionism's
prophet, Theodor Herzl, seriously considered establishing
enclaves beyond the Middle East. In the Shadow of Zion
brings to life the amazing true stories of six exotic
visions of a Jewish national home outside of the biblical
land of Israel. It is the only book to detail the
connections between these schemes, which in turn explain
the trajectory of modern Zionism. A gripping narrative
drawn from archives the world over, In the Shadow of Zion
recovers the mostly forgotten history of the Jewish
territorialist movement, and the stories of the
fascinating but now obscure figures who championed it.
Provocative, thoroughly researched, and written to appeal
to a broad audience, In the Shadow of Zion offers a timely
perspective on Jewish power and powerlessness"--|cProvided
