Quote from book, "This is the first volume of the publication series of the Israeli Sociological Society, whose object is to identify and clarify the major themes that occupy social science research in Israel today. studies of Israeli Society gathers together the best of Israeli social science investigation, which was previously scattered in a large variety of international journals. Each book in the series is introduced by integrative essays. the contents of volume one focus on the themes of migration, ethnicity, and community, seeking out the dynamics of conflict and integration in a new society. Topics include such relevant contemporary issues as 'migration and remigration.' 'patterns of ethnic residence,' 'ethnic factions and inequalitites,' and 'ethnicity and the labor force.' A special feature is a comprehensive bibliography of published materials in English on Israeli society that covers the 1970-76 timeframe. While earlier Israeli social science writings dealt with the absorption or assimilation of immigrants, the essays in Studies of Israeli Society place their emphasis on cultural ethnicity or cultural pluralism and ethnic social statification. the book thus joins the current debate that has all but rendered obsolete the melting pot paradigm. As S.N. Eisenstadt notes in the Introduction the earlier studies were more concerned with various processes 'internal to these (ethnic) collectivities' - the division of labor, class struggle, and the like, or with the processes of change from one type of collectivity to another. Today the focus is an attempt at explanation of the resurgence of ethnic consciousness and the militancy that accompanies it -ethnic claims directed against apparent discrimination and the demands for positive, reverse, or affirmative discrimination. This volume presents not only a review of the social science research of the 'best and the brightest' in Israel in the past decade, it serves also to delineate the direction to which future efforts must turn."
