Description

Being Israeli : The Dynamics of Multiple Citizenship, Paperback by Shafir, Ge.... Being Israeli : The Dynamics of Multiple Citizenship, Paperback by Shafir, Gershon; Peled, Yoav, ISBN 0521796725, ISBN-13 9780521796729, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Shafir (sociology, U. of California at San Diego, USA) and Peled (political science, Tel Aviv U., Israel) argue that the history of Israel is the history of the conflict between three partly contradictory political goals and commitments: colonialism, ethno-nationalism, and liberal democracy. They view the development of Israeli citizenship as a process of evolution from a colonial frontier to a civil society, seeing the latest period of Israeli history (1977 to the present) as one characterized by a partial and halting decolonization otherwise known as the peace process. Exploring the way citizenship has been defined, they offer hope that Israel can move towards a civil society that views women, European immigrants, and Palestinians as equal members of society.
