This book provides the most up-to-date assessment of Israel's
society today, portraying the country's ethnic diversity, its
economy, and demographic changes. Revealing linkages between
demographic transformation and socioeconomic change, Goldscheider
shows how ethnic group formation emerged in Israel to create the
present mix of Jewish and Arab populations. He also reviews the
policies of Palestinian and Israeli governments concerning
immigration, describing the ways in which socioeconomic development
within Israel, urbanization, and industrialization have evolved
through the use of outside capital and increasing dependency. The
book reveals two unique sets of processes about Israel today. The
first concerns important changes in marriage, family and
intermarriage, educational attainment and occupational achievement,
ethnic politics, religion, and the changing role of women. A second
but related concern pertains to the social and economic contexts of
community life. Here Goldscheider investigates rapid change among
Israel's major urban centers, towns, and agricultural centers,
including the Kibbutz as well as Arab communities. In concluding
chapters, the author discusses the role of government in shaping
population policy, including health, fertility, and contraceptive
and abortion issues. He also describes the influence of Jewish
communities outside of Israel and the impact of the Middle East
conflict with Arab states on Israel's domestic policy as well as
the conflict with populations in territories administered by Israel
since 1967. Likely to be a standard reference for years to come,
the book is essential reading for political scientists,
sociologists, anthropologists, and historians concerned with
Israel's politics and society.
