Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the last three decades, Israel has been undergoing a dramatic revolution:the hegemonic secular Zionist ethos that founded it is cracking, and varioussub-groups seek to realize their specific identity in the public sphere. Ultra-Orthodox, Arabs, Mizrahim, immigrants from the former Soviet Union, andothers are rejecting the peripheral status that had ranked them accordingto their proximity to the principles of this ethos and insist on their ownvoice. Israeli society has consequently become a seething entanglement ofconfl icts and identity struggles.This book is one of the first attempts to examine various aspects ofthe current multicultural transformation of Israeli society. It deals withfundamental questions such as the character of Israel as a Jewish state,the status of minorities and their right to self-realization, and the farreaching influence of the multicultural turn on a variety of legal and socialdimensions. Theoretical questions are reconsidered in light of specific casestudies in Israel, off ering a significant contribution to the interdisciplinarydiscussion of multicultural theories and their application.
