AS'AD GHANEM. ETHNIC POLITICS IN ISRAEL. THE MARGINS AND THE ASHKENAZI CENTER
London-New York: Routledge, 2010* The book is devoted to the internal politics of the State of Israel, more precisely-its ethnic aspect. As an ethnologist, I was interested in this work about an issue that was practically not studied in our country. It is written by Asad Ghanem, a senior lecturer at the School of Political Studies at the University of Haifa (Israel). It focuses on Israel's policy towards several groups, which the author refers to as "second-level groups" (secondary groups).: These are the so-called Mizrahim, or Jews from the countries of the East (from Hebrew. mizarch east); religious Jews; so-called Russians, i.e. former Soviet immigrants; Palestinians. Thus, from the very beginning, the author defines the scope and boundaries of his research. It does not consider and, as it were, "does not notice" several ethnic groups living in the State of Israel; among them, Israeli Arabs, Druze, Circassians, Armenians and a number of others.

He believes (quite rightly) that the State of Israel does not pursue a special policy towards, say, Moroccan or Polish Jews. But the lack of analysis of ethnic politics in relation to Israeli Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, Circassians and a number of others is still surprising. * Gansm A. Ethnic politics in the State of Israel.

Ghanem includes orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jews in the field of his research, whom he, like other "second-level groups", considers as an opposition to the Ashkenazi elite tha ... Read more
