This volume illuminates changes in Israeli society over the past
generation. Goldscheider identifies three key social changes that
have led to the transformation of Israeli society in the
twenty-first century: the massive immigration of Jews from the
former Soviet Union, the economic shift to a high-tech economy, and
the growth of socioeconomic inequalities inside Israel. To deepen
his analysis of these developments, Goldscheider focuses on
ethnicity, religion, and gender, including the growth of ethnic
pluralism in Israel, the strengthening of the Ultra-Orthodox
community, the changing nature of religious Zionism and secularism,
shifts in family patterns, and new issues and challenges between
Palestinians and Arab Israelis given the stalemate in the peace
process and the expansions of Jewish settlements. Combining
demography and social structural analysis, the author draws on the
most recent data available from the Israeli Central Bureau of
Statistics and other sources to offer scholars and students an
innovative guide to thinking about the Israel of the future. This
book will be of interest to scholars and students of contemporary
Israel, the Middle East, sociology, demography and economic
development, as well as policy specialists in these fields. It will
serve as a textbook for courses in Israeli history and in the
modern Middle East.
