The kibbutz movement is now 90 years old. It still exists as the world's biggest secular movement of communes, which seemed to have realized the Utopia of a free, egalitarian and just society.

Darüber hinaus werden die Krisen- und Transformationsprozesse der letzten Jahre in einer aktuellen Standortbestimmung des Kibbutz und seiner Erziehungseinrichtungen untersucht.
In Imagining the Kibbutz, Ranen Omer-Sherman explores the literary and cinematic representations of the socialist experiment that became history’s most successfully sustained communal enterprise.

Numerous sociological and economic studies have appeared, but no book-length study has ever addressed the tremendous range of critically imaginative portrayals of the kibbutz.
