Octavo. xv, (1), 331, (1)pp. Index and bibliography. Dark over light green boards, spine lettered in white. A fine, as new copy. This book delves into Israeli society where internal divides have emerged from divergent value systems in a context of powerful globalization, immigrant-society behavior, and a sharp majority-minority division. A short but hectic experience, Jewish nationalism draws its vitality from reformulations of ancestral symbols which permeate the dynamics of the confrontations of the dominant culture and numerous parties, all contesting its exigencies. Israel's conflicts revolve around this issue, forming a unique dynamic of multiple interacting forces of convergence and divergence. This case raises several major questions about the sociology of multiculturalism. (Publisher) Contents: Identity, nationalism, and multiculturalism -- The social and cultural landscape of Israel -- The Ultra-Orthodox in the city -- Settlers as a cleavage -- Mizrahim and Ashkenazim -- Russian immigrants -- Ethiopian Jews -- Arabs and Druze in Israel -- Foreign workers: the case of the Filipinos -- The configuration of multiculturalism -- Rules of multiculturalism -- Identity and national politics -- Cleavages transformed -- Multiculturalism and the pursuit of meanings.
