AI-generated Abstract
This article explores the interplay of nationalism, race, and eugenics within the Zionist movement, particularly focusing on the concept of a 'new Jewish type' through mixed marriage. It argues that the Zionist embrace of racial constructs was not solely a function of nationalism but intertwined with cultural aspirations and social considerations, reflecting complex dynamics between Jewish unity and hierarchy, especially in the context of early twentieth-century Central Europe and British Mandate Palestine.
