This innovative study examines the responses of early-twentieth-century pioneers to â€œthe Landâ€ of Palestine. Early Zionist historiography portrayed these young settlers as heroic; later, more critical studies by the â€œnewâ€ historians and sociologists focused on their failures and shortcomings. Neumann argues for something else that historians have yet to identifyâ€”desire. Desire for the Land and a visceral identification with it begin to explain the pioneer experience and its impact on Israeli history and collective memory, as well as on Israelisâ€™ abiding connection to the Land of Israel. His close readings of archival documents, memoirs, diaries, poetry, and prose of the period develop new understandingsâ€”many of them utterly surprisingâ€”of the Zionist enterprise. For Neumann, the Zionist revolution was an existential revolution: for the pioneers, to be in the Land of Israel was to be!
