Focusing on Romanian, Thai, and Filipina migrants brought to Israel for specified periods of employment, Drori examines the effect of migrants on Israeli society, particularly the issue of national identity. What began as a political corrective?avoiding the danger of hiring Palestinians to do work that Jewish Israelis would not?has developed into a social and economic problem the state does not know how to handle. In addition to examining the work experiences and social lives of these workers, Drori also situates the Israeli case within a global context, where many affluent nations have significant populations of marginalized, undocumented workers. 410 0$aSUNY series in Israeli studies. 606 $aForeign workers$zIsrael 606 $aForeign workers$xGovernment policy$zIsrael 606 $aForeign workers, Philippine$zIsrael 606 $aForeign workers, Romanian$zIsrael 606 $aForeign workers, Thai$zIsrael 615 0$aForeign workers 615 0$aForeign workers$xGovernment policy 615 0$aForeign workers, Philippine 615 0$aForeign workers, Romanian 615 0$aForeign workers, Thai 676 $a331.6/2095694 700 $aDrori$b Israel$01636546 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815238003321 996 $aForeign workers in Israel$94113933 997 $aUNINA
