This volume explores the impact of the state of Israel on shaping the Jewish world collective identity. "Public thought" as conceived in this book is a synthesis of ideological principles, religious beliefs and political points of view as expressed to the wide public with an intention to shape the collective mind. In summary, this book represents an intellectual dialogue between Israel and the Jewish Diaspora in quest for their collective identity, within the historical framework of the last fifty years. Yosef Gorny's previous publications include "Achdut Ha'avoda 1919-1930: The Ideological Principles and the Political System", "Partnership and Conflict: Chaim Weizmann and the Jewish Labour Movement in Palestine" and "The British Labour Party and Zionism 1917-1948".
