Reviews

“[the] 153 pages of their analysis are a tour de force that depicts the identities of American (Jewish) Israelis in its various nuances, pays attention to sub-groups, trends and dynamics, and it allows for recommendations to Israeli public policy. This marvelous endeavour is substantially helped by the native familiarity of both authors with Israel, their knowledge of the US, and their expertise in quantitative methods. These intersecting levels of knowledge allow them to pursue their aim to analyse changes and continuities of the Israeli Diaspora in the US, and compare these developments with societal and social developments in Israel itself…For experts, American Israelis is a gem: it offers so much in terms of data and analysis that it makes for many questions, which should be addressed in further research, qualitative and quantitative alike.” –Dani Kraz, Erfurt University, Nordic Journal of Migration Research, 2 (1), 2012, 89-98 pp.
