Essays on the challenges of anthropological work in a complicated
country: “A compelling anthology.” —Ruth Behar Israel is a place
of paradoxes, a small country with a diverse population and
complicated social terrain. Studying its culture and social life means
confronting a multitude of ethical dilemmas and methodological
challenges. These first-person accounts by anthropologists engage
contradictions of religion, politics, identity, kinship,
racialization, and globalization to reveal fascinating and often
vexing dimensions of the Israeli experience. Caught up in pressing
existential questions of war and peace, social justice, and national
boundaries, the contributors explore the contours of Israeli society
as insiders and outsiders, natives and strangers, as well as critics
and friends.
