Here on Earth: A Histroy of the Kibbutz Book talk with Prof. Mira Balberg

Here on Earth tells the story of the kibbutz, a daring social experiment in collectivized living, from its inception in the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. The book weaves the history of the kibbutz into the greater stories of Jewish revival in Palestine, the emergence of the modern State of Israel, and Israeli society and culture, and it explores the experiences and challenges of kibbutz life throughout a century of ongoing transformations. Offering a lens that is at the same time critical and empathetic, Here on Earth is an invitation to discover the complicated and multifaceted history of a fascinating human invention.
