Publisher's Synopsis
Based on a twenty-month-long ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the Samaria region, Israeliness in No Man s Land introduces the reader to the Jewish- Israeli settlers living in what is known as the West Bank of Israel/Palestine, describing their everyday life while focusing on the academic college of Ariel. The book also includes an academic discussion regarding the study of citizenship with ethnographic methods, and it compares the West Bank of Israel/Palestine with other politically-contested regions in the world (such as the TRNC in Cyprus). This volume deals with different aspects of Israeliness and explores the possibility that in the era of globalisation it is no longer a synonym for Jewish nationalism. It also explores the potential development of a new and more inclusive and democratic Israeli identity, Israeliness as a culture of citizenship.
