Abstract

Approaches to American Zionist History The historiography of American Zionism until 1930 may well be called "Brandeiscentric." Brandeis-the man, his ideas, and his achievements-are presented as the pinnacle of American Zionist realization during the first part of its history. It is generally accepted that there was almost no organized Zionism in the United States until Brandeis assumed leadership in 1914 and that his hold on the movement continued at least until the beginning of 1921, and perhaps even until his resignation at the climax of the so-called Brandeis-W eizmann conflict in 1921.
