"The sheer number of contributors and the range of essays and topics discussed make this volume a rich source of information on Israeli society, politics, economics, and culture." — Journal of Palestine Studies"Without a doubt, this is the best volume in the series so far. The writing is superb, the analysis and criticism are cogent, the coverage is broad, and the points of view are varied. I really enjoyed this collection." — James D.
