- Summary:
- Land of Refuge by Gur Alroey, translated by Deborah Stern, explores Jewish migration to Palestine between 1919 and 1927, emphasizing personal stories and experiences of migrants from Eastern Europe and Islamic countries. The book examines the socio-political context of the British Mandate and the challenges faced by these migrants, who often viewed Palestine as a secondary option after America. Alroey highlights the human aspect of migration, focusing on individual narratives often overshadowed by Zionist narratives and statistical analyses. This work is a sequel to An Unpromising Land and continues the exploration of Jewish migration dynamics, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Yishuv society during the Mandate period. It is intended for scholars and readers interested in Jewish history, migration studies, and the socio-political landscape of early 20th-century Palestine. Generated by AI.
