| Summary: | Since its inception in late 1999, the “Birthright Israel” program has sent more than 200,000 college-aged, diaspora Jews on all-expenses-paid, 10-day tours of Israel. Sponsored cooperatively by diaspora foundations and the Israeli state, this important political use of tourism receives careful, thorough, and nuanced analysis in Shaul Kelner's excellent Tours That Bind: Diaspora, Pilgrimage, and Israeli Birthright Tourism. In analyzing tourism as a potent but imprecise tool of transnational political socialization, Kelner makes an important contribution to scholarship on tourism, transnationalism, and diaspora. |
