The last 15 years have witnessed deep changes in Israeli society.
The naive solidarity of the early years of statehood has given way
to more sophisticated approaches, and the atmosphere of the 1990s
was conducive towards critique and open discussion. It was the age
of the Oslo Accords, of the large wave of immigrants from the
Former Soviet Union, economic growth and prosperity, and a
concurrent feeling of security and well-being. Israel was fast
becoming a postcapitalist society, a junior member of the global
village. This newly acquired self-assurance led to openness towards
unorthodox views on basic questions of Israeli identity. The new
mood found expression in the cultural climate and in the public
debates. The Zionist narrative in relation to the Palestinians; the
early troubled absorption of immigrants from Islamic countries; the
discrimination against the Arab Israeli minority; the delay in the
1950s in incorporating the memory of the Holocaust into collective
memory; the Zionist attitude towards the Jewish Diaspora, all these
were issues on the cultural and intellectual agenda, subjects of
heated controversies. This book attempts to come to grips with
these themes. The complex texture of Israeli society is drawn here
by a number of hands, presenting up-to-date approaches, as viewed
by experts.
