Review:

“It deals with exceedingly important issues scarcely touched by an earlier generation of Israeli social scientists. The topic is central to the study of Israeli society, and the book makes innovative contributions to sociological theory. It represents first-rate scholarship.” ― Robert J. Brym, University of Toronto

“There are provocative and insightful notions, and readers will come away with an appreciation both of the complexities of Israeli society and of the difficulty of charting its boundaries and explaining their creation and evolution.” ― Mark Tessler, University of Wisconsin
