Beskrivelse
"This book is likely to elbow its way into the front of the crowd. . . . Clearly original."--Jerrold D. Green, Rand Corporation In all aspects of life, Israel continues to evolve from the country it was in 1948. These essays address issues of foreign policy as well as some of the most heated domestic topics in Israel today--the peace process, the changing role of women, the role of less religious Jews, the decline of Zionist ideology, the identity of Indian Jews, and the allocation of economic resources.
