Ami Pedahzur is Professor of Government and a fellow of the Gale Chair of Judaic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin where he also serves as the head of the Israel Studies Collaborative at the Schusterman Center of Jewish Studies
"The Triumph of Israel's Radical Right is a bold and personable
book that establishes Ami Pedahzur as the late Ehud Sprinzak's
successor as the premier scholar of political extremism in
Israel."--Cas Mudde, University of Georgia, author of Populist
Radical Right Parties in Europe
"Settlers, yes, but Ami Pedahzur brilliantly portrays the
increasingly powerful radical right in Israel as much more than the
settlers in the occupied territories. The Triumph of Israel's
Radical Right portrays the evolution of the right from a group
preoccupied with preventing the creation of a Palestinian state to
an anti-democratic, nativist force that has made deep inroads into
defining the character of the Israeli state."--Joel Migdal,
University
of Washington, co-author of The Palestinian People: A History
"If Israel's purposes are to serve as a 'light unto the nations'
and to share with others the task of healing and repairing the
world (Tikkun Olam), this book does a compelling job of explaining
why these purposes are not being met. Ami Pedahzur does an
estimable job of tracing the Israeli radical right from a marginal
force to the dominant one in Israeli political life."--Leonard
Weinberg, University of Nevada, Reno, author of Global
Terrorism
"Pedahzur has crafted a remarkable, crisply written history of the
rise of the settler movement after the 1967 War leading to recent
triumphs of the radical Right in Israeli policies and elections.
... Recommended." --CHOICE
"The book is, first of all, the most detailed, systematic, and
comprehensive work on the subject to date. If one wants to acquire
a general knowledge of Israel's radical right, this is the book to
read. If one aims to study a specific aspect of the phenomenon
(e.g., Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassination or the
disengagement from Gaza), a specific grouping (e.g., a political
party, an organization, or social movement) or a certain
personality, this is the
place to locate it, and then place it in its proper context. These
details, reinforced by a timeline of major events, an appendix with
figures concerning the settlements and the settlers, a table
that
presents the electoral achievements of the right, and illustrative
maps, make this a must-have book for any scholar of Israeli
politics."--Middle East Journal
