The Israeli State and Society: Boundaries and Frontiers (Suny Series in Israeli Studies)
by Baruch Kimmerling (Editor)
This book provides a unique mosaic of the most recent processes and phenomena which explains Israel factually as well as theoretically. It offers a new conceptual framework for analysing the relationships between state and society, contrasting social boundaries with social frontiers. It also discusses the problems that arise when Zionist ideology confronts reality in contemporary Israel.

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

Excellent collection of essays of Israeli society's construction as a society of secular European settlers justifying their actions on the basis of Jewish religious postulates, postulates they rejected in all the other matters. The essays deal with this inherent paradox in context of several challenges this society had to deal with - the mass emigrations of Jews from Arab states, of Russian Jewry, and of the Jews from Ethiopia, as well as discrimination against women and against Israeli Arabs.
