Lustick, author of Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality \u003cdiv\u003eThe Israeli and Palestinian diasporas, inherently linked for historical and political reasons, have seldom been jointly examined. This book addresses this significant void, aligning with the growing interest of historians in “intertwined histories” and, it could be argued, “intertwined presents.” It not only contributes to existing research but also offers a fresh perspective on the entire field, and will surely be a cornerstone for future explorations in this area.\u003c\/div\u003e - Shai P.

Jews, lacking a homeland, spread to various parts of the world, making the Jewish diaspora paradigmatic. But after the establishment of Israel in 1948, a different kind of diaspora emerged, as more than a tenth of Israeli citizens have chosen to leave their newly established state and resettle. Meanwhile, about half of all Palestinians, including Palestinian citizens of Israel, now reside in exile, predominantly as a result of the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Recognizing that Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian-Arab societies coexist and are engaged in constant relations, Nahum Karlinsky has assembled an impressive array of contributors to explore these diasporas alongside one another and in dialogue with other diasporic communities. The collected essays cover such topics as Palestinian exiles and diasporas, the demographics of today’s Israeli diaspora, immigrant enterprises, transnationalism and development, the unique place of Israeli Jews in the United States, the literature of Palestinian transnationals, and the emergence of Berlin as a queer Israeli-Jewish immigrant enclave.\u003ci\u003eThe Modern Israeli and Palestinian Diasporas\u003c\/i\u003e challenges and reimagines the very notion of a homeland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e List of Figures and Tables \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preface \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction.
