S.N. Eisenstadt – författare

First Published in 1990. This book forms part of the growing literature on aspects of conflict and conflict management in Japanese society. The explicit aim which has guided the volume's creation, however, has been to add a comparative perspective to this expanding stream of scholarly studies.

The Absorption of Immigrants (1954) examines the assimilation of immigrants in the Yishuv (the Jewish Community in Palestine) and in the State of Israel. It provides a historical analysis of the social structure of the Yishuv and of the development of the new Israeli society. The book also applies the general framework to the analysis of some main types of modern migrations and a series of tentative conclusions is given which may serve as detailed hypotheses for subsequent inquiries. In this way a comparative study of different types of migrations and absorption of immigrants is built up, and an objective evaluation can be made of the place of an Israeli Society among other communities, and their special ways of absorbing new immigrants.
