Ethnic Minorities and Media in the Holy Land (Hardcover, New)

This book is a fascinating portrait of Israeli society as a mosaic of minorities and co-cultures. The articles are written by key Israeli minority and media scholars, with special emphasis on those who are also part of minority groups, and based on an innovative paradigm that differentiates between media for minorities and media by minorities. The book includes important insights for understanding the place and roles of the minority media in other national contexts. Numerous studies have noted the dual role the media plays in the lives of minorities: assimilation into the majority society and isolation there from, adopting new identities and preserving original ones. In this context, Israeli society provides a rare test case, as nearly half of its population comprises various minorities, the most significant of which are the Palestinian citizens of Israel, Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia and migrant workers, who maintain differential relations with the dominant Jewish majority. The anthology comprises selected studies about minorities and the media in Israel, and includes original material focusing on three areas of research: 1) Creation, development and production of media and content for and by minorities; 2) Minority representation in mainstream media; and 3) Minorities' media consumption and the media's role in minority identity construction and location vis-a-vis the dominant majority.
