On the Importance of Booing Mayne Yiddishe Mame

Allan Arkush in Jewish Review of Books · 27 Mar 2017

"Gur Alroey's book 'An Unpromising Land' focuses on the typical Jewish immigrants to Palestine in the early 20th century, highlighting that most were seeking a better future rather than being driven by strong Zionist ideals. Alroey emphasizes that the mass of immigrants were not necessarily motivated by returning to the land of Israel or part of the Zionist project. While some letters to Zionist bureaus showed minimal ideological motivations, Alroey suggests most immigrants were more concerned with economic factors. The book also delves into the daily lives of these immigrants, showcasing struggles and achievements in areas like candy-making and professional associations. Alroey's work challenges the traditional Zionist narrative and underscores the diverse motivations and experiences of early Jewish immigrants to Palestine."
