Israel's Changing Society: Population, Ethnicity and Development Book

Revised to provide the most up-to-date assessment of Israeli society, this text uses history and current events to explain the nation's present demographic and socioeconomic position.

The second edition of Israel's Changing Society is the only book available to systematically treat the formation of ethnic groups in Israel in the contexts of population and development. The book integrates issues of family, immigration, inequality, and ethnicity in Israel with a particular focus on Arab and Jewish populations. It is rich in empirical data on Israel covering the formation and development of the state from its establishment through the end of the 20th century. The role of ethnic communities and residential concentration are presented for Jewish and Arab populations of Israel, with details on discrimination, assimilation, and politics.
