Divided People

The Divided People describes a fracturing Israel a deeply divided state whose political system is buckling and whose society is rapidly polarizing into religious and secular camps. Written by a social scientist and drawing upon social science research the work documents the emergence of separate social networks residential areas symbols and identities-and even a split in the Hebrew language itself. This provocative new book carries a supremely important message for a postmodern Israel taking its first painful steps toward pluralism liberalism and tolerance and a wider lesson for western nations grappling with the problems of a devolutionary age.
