Sommario/riassunto: Why do racial and ethnic groups discriminate against each other? The most common sociological answer is that they want to monopolise scarce resources - good jobs or top educations - for themselves. This book offers a different answer, showing that racial and ethnic discrimination can also occur to preserve particular group identities. It focuses on the early period of Israeli statehood to examine how the European Jewish founders treated Middle Eastern Jewish immigrants.
