Reviews for The Renewal of the Kibbutz. From Reform to Transformation.
"Providing an environment where early Zionists could live and work in a democratic and collective manner, the kibbutz is fundamental to Israeli society. This carefully researched and informative book will appeal to readers interested in democratic collectivism and Israeli society. Highly recommended."
