Gadi BenEzer is a senior lecturer of psychology and anthropology at the Department of Behavioural Sciences in the College of Management in Tel Aviv. In the last two decades he has worked as a psychotherapist and organizational psychologist with the Ethiopian Jewish immigrants in Israel. He has written extensively on Ethiopian Jews, trauma and life stories, and cross-cultural psychotherapy. His book on Immigration and Integration of the Ethiopian Jews has become the main text on the subject in Israel.
"Thousands of Ethiopian (Beta Israel) Jews arrived in Israel
following a perilous journey on foot from their original villages
in Gondar to refugee camps in Sudan. This difficult and lengthy
journey and waiting period forms the subject of this excellent
book... While geared to specialists, this book may be read with
profit by anyone interested in the phenomenon of immigration and in
the Beta Israel experience. Highly recommended." - Choice
'Gadi BenEzer presents a rich body of interview data on an
understudied refugee group, Ethiopian Jews in Israel. His humane
and skillful methods bring to light important details of the
difficult journey itself which he successful demonstrates have a
critical impact on the adaptation of individuals to their new
surroundings. The book is a treasure. It is suitable for
upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in the social
sciences and social work as well as for those who work with
refugees. ' - Kathie Friedman, University of Washington
