POST-ZIONISM HAS BEEN A growing focus of public as well as academic debate in Israel and abroad for much of the past decade. Though the term loosely relates to a composite community of scholars, essayists, writers, artists and intellectuals, who by no means share the same views, methodological approaches or even fields of inquiry, the term somehow stuck and by and large has become accepted. Given the growing relevance of the phenomenon and the amount of debate it has generated both among supporters and critics, Laurence Silberstein's book, The Postzionism Debates (PD), is a welcome contribution to the broad field. Four years after it was published, PD is still the only comprehensive scholarly English language textbook on post-Zionism. 1 Its aims are therefore laudable and its goals desirable,; given the importance of the phenomenon and its diverse manifestations. PD should be welcomed as the first comprehensive attempt to fill this gap in scholarly literature, and it is with a view to the way this task was pursued that PD should be judged. Based on this standard, PD will disappoint anyone interested in learning about post-Zionism in a dispassionate, critical and scholarly manner
