Book Summary
The kibbutz is easily one of the most recognizable -- and misunderstood -- aspects of Israeli culture. As the world becomes more modernized, the kibbutz has been forced to evolve in ways that often conflict with its founding principles. Daniel Gavron, a well-known Israeli journalist, gets to the heart of the kibbutz by interviewing members of many different communities throughout Israel to offer this heartfelt, perceptive account of today's kibbutz and its future. Focusing on the human story, journalist Daniel Gavron movingly portrays the fears, regrets and hopes of members of kibbutzim ranging from traditional to modern and agricultural to urban.
