Zionist ideology has long compelled Israelis to approach emigration from Israel through a very biased lens. The Hebrew words \u003ci\u003ealiyah\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eyerida\u003c\/i\u003e, which mean, respectively, “ascent” and “descent,” are often used to refer to immigration and emigration. These ideological terms, which are charged with religious meaning, are heavily loaded with praise for immigrants and scorn for emigrants. Yet, thousands of Jews from all over the world have lived between two homelands, as the Israeli-Argentine case demonstrates. This study challenges the formerly dominant Zionist narrative that presents immigration to Israel as unique and emigration as a disgrace, shedding light on issues of immigrant identities, belonging, and expectations. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Based on archival documents in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, as well as on interviews, AdriÁn Krupnik’s study gives voice to Argentine migrants to and from Israel. The pursuit of two often irreconcilable ways of living—peace and economic prosperity—repeatedly vexed migrants moving in either direction. Many Jewish-Argentine migrants between 1980 and 2006 lost everything and became the “new poor” in both countries. Protracted recessions and incessant political crises in Argentina continued to drive migrants in one direction, only to arrive in an Israel submerged in the violence of multiple intifadas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our own era, one that will see unprecedented global migration patterns based on similar economic and political—and environmental—upheavals, \u003ci\u003eBetween Two Homelands\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an important and informative cautionary tale of the personal, social, and economic stakes at play in an utterly unsettled globalized landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52570157252888,"sku":"9780817321710","price":68.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/between-two-homelands-argentine-migration-to-and-from-israel-hardback-9780817321710","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
