Product description
Zionism at the Ends of the Earth tells the story of Zionism in New Zealand, from early settlement to the rebirth of Israel in 1948. It explains how a small Jewish community, far from world centres, became so deeply engaged in the movement to establish a Jewish state. Christian supporters of Zionism included two New Zealand Prime Ministers, with Prime Minister Fraser playing a significant role.
“This highly accessible book is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand not only the development of the movement ‘at the ends of the earth’, but also the broader context within which modern Zionism emerged.”
Professor Emeritus Suzanne D. Rutland OAM, PhD
“…Dr Trotter’s impressive scholarship illuminates not only the extraordinary contribution Jews have made to New Zealand over this period, but also how the community is woven into the country’s history more generally. The result is both absorbing and revelatory.”
Prof Paul Moon ONZM, DLitt, PhD
