Based on a broad variety of quantitative and qualitative methods, the book presents a detailed analysis of identity patterns among these immigrants, their orientation in matters of religion, society, culture and politics, and their relationships with all the constituent groups in Israeli society - including the Palestinian minority. The book provides a new critical perspective on questions of immigration, ethnicity and society in Israel. The analysis is placed in a global theoretical context that challenges the dominant approach in the sociology of immigration in Israel, which is based on the Zionist paradigm. 410 0$aInternational Studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology ;$v91. 517 3 $aThe Case of the 1990s Immigrants from the Former Soviet Union in Israel 606 $aImmigrants$zIsrael 606 $aJews, Soviet$zIsrael$xSocial conditions 606 $aSocial adjustment$zIsrael 606 $aSocial surveys$zIsrael 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aJews, Soviet$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSocial adjustment 615 0$aSocial surveys 676 $a305.892/4047 700 $aAl-Haj$b Majid$0877568 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450112003321 996 $aImmigration and ethnic formation in a deeply divided society$91959615 997 $aUNINA
