Experience of Immigration by Yehoshua S. Cohen
A Literary Perspective on Immigration to Israel
In a social-science framework, this book sheds light on the various aspects of the process of social integration and cultural adaptation of the new immigrants arriving in Israel in large numbers in the 1950s.The book brings to light, in a social-science framework, the various aspects of the process of social integration and cultural adaptation of the new immigrants arriving in Israel in large numbers in the 1950s. The integration of the new immigrants was well studied in social science research during the relevant years, especially by Israeli sociologists, but Professor Cohen's study is of a different quality and nature. The study surveys various literary works written in Hebrew by Israeli authors, many of them immigrants themselves. Its main subject matter is the meeting, and often the confrontation, between new-comers and old-timers in Israel, between the cultures of the Jewish Diaspora, and that which evolved among the Jewish population in the country in prior decades. The study of literary works as research materials is a new trend in social sciences, and particularly in the discipline of geography. Professor Cohen's book is a pioneering study in this new direction. |
