Description:
This volume combines a translation of substantial portions of one of the most documents in the early history of Israel--the Government commission of inquiry concerning education in the immigrant camps, appointed in 1950--with analysis of the ensuing public debatees and repercussions, and their meaning for Israeli society today. Using extensive historical research, Zameret traces the development of political and social processes in the early years of Israel's existence and points to their far-reaching and decisive implications for contemporary Israel society.
