Dan Bar-On’s psychosocial approach sees identity as dynamic,
constructed in contra-distinction to various ‘Others’. Drawing
parallels to other societies, he looks most closely at identity
formation among Israelis, or more precisely, among the largely
secular Jews from European lands who formed the hegemonic backbone
of Israeli society. Case studies and analysis depict various stages
in identity formation, as do ‘personal windows’ onto the author as
he experienced these stages. Others such as Diaspora Jews, Jews
from Muslim countries, and Arabs represent repressed aspects of the
collective self. Monolithic identity disintegrates over time, in
ways that are often confusing and painful. The perception of threat
often creates a ‘neo-monolithic backlash’. Yet the book holds out
the possibility of a constructive dialogue, internal and among
groups in society, that will give rise to a better-integrated and
more inclusive identity construction.
? Innovatively delineates four stages in the development of
Israeli collective identity ? Demonstrates the relevance of these
four stages to other countries in the age of globalization ? Uses
case studies and qualitative research methods to exemplify
developmental stages
