Book Description:

Focusing on Israeli society, Bar-On uses case studies and his own experiences to trace stages of identity construction. Drawing parallels to other societies, he looks closely at identity formation among Israelis, more precisely, among the largely secular Jews from European lands who formed the hegemonic backbone of Israeli society.
