Goldman, Shalom, 'Israel and America: Sharing the World Stage and the Performing Arts Stage', Starstruck in the Promised Land: How the Arts Shaped American Passions about Israel (Chapel Hill, NC , 2019; online edn, North Carolina Scholarship Online, 17 Sept. 2020), https://doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469652412.003.0001, accessed 4 May 2025.
Abstract
The introduction provides a short history of Israel along with a list of the American travelers to have recorded their observations about the country from the days of British Palestine through Sept. 11, 2001, and to the present day. The section goes on to introduce the strong tie between Evangelical American Christians and Israel. Although Israel in the 1940s was identified as a cause of the American left, by the 1980s, sympathies more significantly aligned with the American right. The author’s own experiences and relationship to Israel as a New York City-born Jew are also introduced.
