{"product_id":"south-african-jews-in-israel-rebeca-raijman-9780803255388","title":"South African Jews in Israel: Assimilation in Multigenerational Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite consensus about the importance of multigenerational analysis for studying the long-term impact of immigration, most studies in Israel have focused on the integration of first-generation migrants, neglecting key changes (in economic, social, linguistic, and identity outcomes) that occur intergenerationally. Rebeca Raijman tackles this important but untold story with respect to Jewish South African immigration in Israel. By collecting data from three generational cohorts, Raijman analyzes assimilation from a comparative multigenerational perspective. She also combines both quantitative and qualitative evidence with in-depth interviews and participant observation, thereby providing a rich and more complete picture of the complex process of migrant assimilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the migrant subpopulation of South Africa has not received the attention that immigrant populations from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia have, as English-speaking migrants they are a powerful and significant group. Given the status of English as an international language, this study has important implications for understanding the expected assimilation trajectories of Anglophone immigrants in Israel as well as in other non-English-speaking societies. \u003ci\u003eSouth African Jews in Israel \u003c\/i\u003enot only contributes empirical material concerning immigrants in Israeli society but also articulates a theoretical understanding of the social mechanisms underlying the integration of various generations of immigrants into a variety of societal domains.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebeca Raijman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803255381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803255388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Rebeca Raijman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013789724927,"sku":"9780803255388","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ef8e4e2-6885-4935-8235-665c025a22d5.jpg?v=1767744780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/south-african-jews-in-israel-rebeca-raijman-9780803255388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
