Recenzii

"Non-Jews make up one-fourth of Israel's population and represent a variety of racial, ethnic, and religious groups. Within the Jewish population, numerous different branches and geographic backgrounds are represented, reflecting different political and cultural perspectives. The Israeli state has no constitution which defines the rights on non-Jews in the country. How the various cultures interact and what influences result are the central theme of the contributed essays that make up this book. As a religious-based, democratic, multi-cultural state, Israel represents a fairly unique environment among the world's nations. This book examines the implications of this uniqueness."
