"In From Schlemiel to Sabra Philip Hollander examines how masculine ideals and images
of the new Hebrew man shaped the Israeli state. In this innovative book, Hollander
uncovers the complex relationship that Jews had with masculinity, interrogating narratives
depicting masculinity in the new state as a transition from weak, feminized schlemiels
to robust, muscular, and rugged Israelis. Turning to key literary texts by S. Y. Agnon,
Y. H. Brenner, L. A. Arieli, and Aharon Reuveni, Hollander reveals how gender and
sexuality were intertwined to promote a specific Zionist political agenda. A Zionist
masculinity grounded in military prowess could not only protect the new state but
also ensure its procreative needs and future. Self-awareness, physical power, fierce
loyalty to the State and devotion to the land, humility, and nurture of the young
were essential qualities that needed to be cultivated in migrants to the State. By
turning to the early literature of Zionist Palestine, Hollander shows how Jews strove
to construct a better Jewish future"
