In this detailed 1978 study, Professor Rita J. Simon examines two
significant ethnic communities in Israel: one of ultra-Orthodox
Jews, and the other of Israeli Arabs. The Jews form a tiny but
cohesive group with a strong sense of pride in their heritage and
values. The Arabs, who comprise thirteen percent of the total
population of Israel, occupy a politically and culturally sensitive
position within that state. The author argues that despite these
and obvious other cultural differences the two communities are akin
in their separateness from the mainstream of Israeli society. She
presents explanations of how and why both groups maintain cultural
values and social patterns that prevent their assimilation into and
acceptance by the broader society. Continuity and Change is
significant as a study of contemporary social conditions in Israel,
of sources of conflict within that society, as of implications that
these conflicts have for the future.
