The framework of dependent development in the Ottoman Empire -- From land to labor: unequal competition and the "conquest of labor" strategy -- The failed experiment: "natural workers" from Yemen, 1909-1914 -- Between trade unions and political parties, 1905-1914 -- From "conquest" of labor" to "conquest of land": the identity of soldier and settler, 1907-1914 -- The unintended means: cooperative settlement, 1910-1914 -- Conclusion: Israeli nationalism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Gershon Shafir challenges the heroic myths about the foundation of the State of Israel by investigating the struggle to control land and labor during the early Zionist enterprise. He argues that it was not the imported Zionist ideas that were responsible for the character of the Israeli state, but the particular conditions of the local conflict between the European "settlers" and the Palestinian Arab population.
