Aschheim\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor many years Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) has been the object of intense debate. After her bitter critiques of Zionism, which seemed to nullify her early involvement with that movement, and her extremely controversial \u003ci\u003eEichmann in Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), Arendt became virtually a taboo figure in Israeli and Jewish circles. Challenging the \"curse\" of her own title, \u003ci\u003eHannah Arendt in Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e carries the scholarly investigation of this much-discussed writer to the very place where her ideas have been most conspicuously ignored. Sometimes sympathetically, sometimes critically, these distinguished contributors reexamine crucial aspects of Arendt's life and thought: her complex identity as a German Jew; her commitment to and critique of Zionism and the state of Israel; her works on \"totalitarianism,\" Nazism, and the Eichmann trial; her relationship to key twentieth-century intellectuals; her intimate and tense connections to German culture; and her reworkings of political thought and philosophy in the light of the experience of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is impressive to see an edited collection in which such a high intellectual standard is maintained throughout...
