Arguing that the mono-cultural regime built during the 1950's is over, Baruch Kimmerling suggests that the Israeli state has divided into seven major cultures. These seven groups, he contends, have been challenging one other for control over resource distribution and the identity of the polity. Kimmerling, one of the most prominent social scientists and political analysts of Israel today, relies on a large body of sociological work on the state, civil society, and ethnicity to present an overview of the construction and deconstruction of the secular-Zionist national identity. He shows how Israeliness is becoming a prefix for other identities as well as a legal and political concept of citizen rights granted by the state, though not necessarily equally to different segments of society. 606 $aNational characteristics, Israeli 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xIdentity 606 $aReligion and state$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aIsrael$xEthnic relations 610 $a20th century. 610 $acitizen rights. 610 $across cultural. 610 $acultural history. 610 $ademographic study. 610 $aethnicities. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $aisrael. 610 $aisraeli military. 610 $aisraeli society. 610 $aisraeli state. 610 $ajudaism. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amulticultural society. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apolitical analysts. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apolitical. 610 $aresource distribution. 610 $asecular zionists. 610 $asocial scientists. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $asociological study. 610 $asociologists. 610 $athought provoking. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Israeli. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aReligion and state 676 $a306/.095694 700 $aKimmerling$b Baruch$0540111 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780378003321 996 $aThe invention and decline of Israeliness$93822227 997 $aUNINA
