Migration nowadays is a universal phenomenon often instigating
extreme changes in the entire life cycle of the immigrants.
Occasionally, immigration is liable to impose a certain degree of
change also on the life of the absorbing society at large or of
substantial sectors of it. Professor Ben-Sira, a world figure in
medical sociology, advances the understanding of the factors that
promote or impede readjustment of immigrants and of members of the
absorbing society who may feel affected by that immigration. The
author surveyed 500 new immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet
Union, as well as 900 members of the absorbing society in order to
understand the process of immigration and integration. This book
not only contributes to the understanding of the factors explaining
readjustment in the wake of immigration, but also provides insights
with respect to the relationship between life-change and
stress.
