The Academic Middle-Class Rebellion exposes the struggle of the Ashkenazi (European) professional elite to capitalize on its advantages during the first decade of Israeli statehood, by attempting to maximize wage gaps between themselves and the new Oriental Jewish proletariat. This struggle was met with great resistance from the government under the ruling party, Mapai, and its leader David Ben-Gurion. The clash between the two sides revealed diverse, contradictory visions of the optimal socio-economic foundation for establishing collective identity in the new nation-state. The study by Avi Bareli and Uri Cohen uncovers patterns that merged nationalism and socialism in 1950s Israel confronting a liberal and meritocratic vision. 410 0$aJewish identities in a changing world ;$vVolume 30. 606 $aWages$zIsrael 606 $aAshkenazim$zIsrael$xAttitudes 606 $aSephardim$zIsrael$xSocial conditions 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government 607 $aIsrael$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aWages 615 0$aAshkenazim$xAttitudes. 615 0$aSephardim$xSocial conditions. 676 $a331.29569409045 700 $aBareli$b Avi$01505375 702 $aCohen$b Uri$f1960- 702 $aSchneider$b Alma 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796789103321 996 $aThe academic middle-class rebellion$93836654 997 $aUNINA
