Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Illuminates Israeli history through a unique state-in-society approach, using the Israeli experience to ask how social scientists can better investigate and understand other societies. Three central themes are at the core of this analysis: state formation, society formation, and the mutually constitutive roles of state and society. Asks how particular societies and states end up with their distinctive character, how the rules that shape everyday behavior are determined, and how and when patterns of privilege change. Migdal teaches international studies at the University of Washington. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
From the Publisher
“This is one of the most original and important books on Israel in years—a rare work of first-class scholarship that is so well written it can be read with profit by the educated reader, students, and scholars.” — Myron J. Aronoff, author of Power and Ritual in the Israel Labor Party: A Study in Political Anthropology

“Fascinating, readable, and highly original. Combines a mastery of the Israeli case with far-reaching theoretical insights.” — Eva Bellin, Harvard University
