Abstract
The introduction is divided into three parts. The first part investigates how the terms “aliyah” and “migration” came to be adopted in Zionist historiography and how these concepts have influenced the field of study. In addition, this section attempts to trace the point in time when the first waves of immigration to Palestine were taken out of their broader historical context and treated as a special and exceptional phenomenon. The second part paints a general picture of the second aliyah as depicted in Israeli historiography and also examines the influence of Zionist terminology on historical research into the history of immigration to Palestine. The third part deals with methodological problems and the primary sources that made possible the writing of this book.
