Beschreibung

In this insightful interpretation of Zionism, Ofer Idels reveals that, while Hebrew culture often celebrated strong "muscular Jews," it distanced itself from modern sports during the interwar years. Embodying the Revolution fills a gap in the literature on the globalization of the sporting spectacle and explores how Zionist revolutionary ideals challenge neoliberal views of ideology as an elitist myth.
