Critical Essays on Israeli Social Issues and Scholarship
"This book is extremely provocative, very clearly written, and well-structuredI found it interesting and, in places, fascinating. The topic is extremely important for the macro-understanding of the Israeli society, especially within the context of changes occurring since 1967." — Ilan Peleg, Lafayette College
"I like the fact that the author addresses 'real' problems in society, issues of the media, education, labor, and electoral reform for example. I believe that this book manifests a thorough understanding of some of the very subtle characteristics of the Israeli social/economic/political systems, and shows a clear insight into the nature of the fundamental problems in Israeli society, how the problems developed, and where the solutions to those problems may lie.The author's style of writing is clear and scholarly, yet it is also quite captivating." — Gregory Mahler, University of Mississippi
