"For decades, Baruch Kimmerling projected one of
the sanest, clearest, and most critical voices among analysts of Israeli social structure and
change." — Charles Tilly, Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science,
Columbia University

"This book provides a brilliant
analysis of the concept of identity in general and of Jewish and Palestinian identities in
particular. It is theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich, and extremely well written."
— Yehouda Shenhav, professor of sociology and anthropology, Tel-Aviv University,
and author of The Arab-Jews: Nationalism, Religion, and
Ethnicity
