This thought-provoking book, the first of its kind in the English
language, reexamines the fifty-year-old nation of Israel in terms
of its origins as a haven for a persecuted people and its evolution
into a multi-cultural society. Arguing that the mono-cultural
regime built during the 1950s is over, Baruch Kimmerling suggests
that the Israeli state has divided into seven major cultures. These
seven groups, he contends, have been challenging one other for
control over resource distribution and the identity of the polity.
Kimmerling, one of the most prominent social scientists and
political analysts of Israel today, relies on a large body of
sociological work on the state, civil society, and ethnicity to
present an overview of the construction and deconstruction of the
secular-Zionist national identity. He shows how Israeliness is
becoming a prefix for other identities as well as a legal and
political concept of citizen rights granted by the state, though
not necessarily equally to different segments of society.
