Focusing on European nationalism and modernist culture, the book examines the emergence of the 'Zionist body' as a counter to the stereotype of the frail, intellectual Jew. It traces the cultural and intellectual history that led to the 'Muscle Jew' becoming a potent political symbol of national regeneration, highlighting the transformation in Jewish identity and representation.
