More about the book

Examining the experiences of religious minorities in Tunisia, Morocco, and Israel during the 1970s, this book highlights how state identity intertwines with majority religion, influencing the political and social dynamics of Jews and Arabs in these countries. Through in-depth fieldwork and public opinion surveys, it analyzes community and individual responses to their minority status in non-secular states. By comparing these groups, the work offers insights into how political environments shape minority identity, appealing to scholars in various fields related to Middle Eastern studies and minority politics.
