摘要

这部关于美国和以色列艺术之间特殊发展关系的优秀文化史,包括音乐、戏剧、舞蹈、电影、文学和电视,是一部杰作。它展示了艺术家与以色列的关系如何影响了美国人对以色列的看法。这些交织在一起的美国和以色列的文化历史相互影响,并决定了以色列的形象。书籍、电影、电视和音乐通过描绘社会主义、帝国主义、种族正义和基督教传教士的努力等次要主题,在形成美国公众对以色列的看法方面发挥了重要作用。这本书的优势在于,在撰写一部杰出的文化史的过程中,戈德曼揭示了政治学、中东历史背景、外交政策和外交、以色列公共关系、以色列的国际形象和世界宗教史等领域的许多知识。这本书出色地展示了表演艺术中的美国文化力量如何成为美国-以色列故事过程的一部分,这是最重要的国际联盟。虽然关于美国和以色列关系的外交、军事和宗教方面的文章很多,但戈德曼揭示,艺术力量的中介作用塑造并注定了美国和以色列在世界舞台上的特殊关系。戈德曼展示了那些前往以色列演出、演讲和吸引粉丝的美国艺术家不仅表达了美国与以色列的特殊关系,而且影响了这种关系。在一个学术专门化狭窄的时代,这本书的范围之广,不仅体现在时间上,而且体现在其广泛的思想知识上,它整合了一个广泛的网络,以帮助理解以色列与美国的特殊关系,令人耳目一新。虽然包含了许多重要的细节,但它并没有顾全大局,而是描绘了广泛的总体趋势。第二个优势是戈德曼敏锐的分析洞察力,揭示了自美国建国以来形成历史发展潜意识背景的左翼政治分歧。通过这种分析的深入,戈德曼能够证明基督教对以色列的支持——主要是在新教徒中,在较小程度上在天主教徒中——过去和现在都是以色列建立、支持和发展的核心和决定性部分,其基础是通过基督教对圣经预言的解释将世界的命运和命运解读为圣经。最近,基督教右翼在支持将美国大使馆迁往耶路撒冷、废除奥巴马时代的美伊协议、承认犹太和撒玛利亚不是非法的,而是大卫王和所罗门统治时期以色列的合法边界等方面发挥了作用。第三,高盛能够通过联盟的政治巨变来关注和识别美以关系的明确转折点。例如,高盛的轨迹、图表和地图

Starstruck in the Promised Land: How the Arts Shaped American Passions About Israel by Shalom Goldman (review)
This excellent cultural history of the special evolving relationship between the arts in the US and Israel, including music, theatre, dance, film, literature, and television is a tour de force. It shows how the role of artists’ relationships to Israel has influenced how Americans often perceive Israel. These intertwined cultural histories of the US and Israel have shaped one another and destined Israel’s image. Books, films, TV, and music have played a significant role in forming American public views of Israel by depictions with subthemes of socialism, imperialism, racial justice, and Christian missionary efforts. A strength of the book is that Goldman, in the process of writing an outstanding cultural history, reveals much knowledge in areas of political science, historical background of the Middle East, foreign policy and diplomacy, Israeli public relations, Israel’s perceived international image, and world religious history. The book superbly shows how American cultural forces in the performing arts are part of the process of the American-Israeli story that is the most consequential international alliance. While much has been written about the diplomatic, military, and religious aspects of the relationship between the US and Israel, Goldman reveals that the mediating role of the power of the arts has shaped and destined the US-Israeli special relationship of the world stage. Goldman demonstrates how American artists who have journeyed to Israel to perform, lecture, and rivet fans have not only expressed but influenced the American special relationship with Israel. The wide scope, not only chronologically but for its far-ranging noetic ken, that incorporates a wide net to help understanding of the special relationship Israel has with the US, is refreshing to see in an age of narrow academic specialization. While containing many important details, it does not lose sight of the forest for the trees and traces broad general trends. A second strength is Goldman’s piercing analytic penetration that brings to light the leftright political divisions that form a subconscious background to historical unfoldings since the foundation of the United States. With this analytical penetration, Goldman is able to demonstrate that Christian support for Israel—primarily amongst Protestants, and to a lesser degree amongst Catholics—was and remains the central and determining part of Israel’s establishment, support, and growth, founded on the central place of reading the world’s destiny and fate into the Bible through Christian interpretation of Biblical prophecy. Recently this Christian Right has played a role in support of moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, scrapping the Obama-era US-Iran Deal, and recognizing that Judea and Samaria are not illegal but the rightful borders of Israel as described in the reigns of King David and Solomon. Thirdly, Goldman is able to focus and identify clear turning points in US-Israeli relations through the political sea changes of alliances. For example, Goldman traces, charts, and maps
