What is the relationship between social protest movements in the State of Israel, violence in Gaza, and the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran? Why did the mass social protests in the State of Israel of summer 2011 ultimately fail? Wrapped in the Flag of Israel discusses social protest movements from the 2003 Single Mothers' March led by Mizrahi Vicky Knafo, to the "Tahrir is Here" Israeli mass protests of summer 2011. Equating bureaucratic entanglements with pain - what, arguably, can be seen as torture, Smadar Lavie explores the conundrum of loving and staying loyal to a state that repeatedly inflicts pain on its non-European Jewish women citizens through its bureaucratic system. The book presents a model of bureaucracy as divine cosmology and posits that Israeli State bureaucracy is based on a theological essence that fuses the categories of religion, gender, and race into the foundation of citizenship.
Smadar Lavie is a Scholar-in-Residence at the Beatrice Bain Research Group, UC Berkeley, specializing in the anthropology of Egypt, the State of Israel, and Palestine, with emphasis on issues of race, gender, and religion. She is the author of The Poetics of Military Occupation (University of California Press), which won a 1990 Honorable Mention of the Victor Turner Award for Ethnographic Writing. She is also the co-editor of Displacement, Diaspora, and Geographies of Identity (Duke UP 1996), winner of the American Studies Association's 2009 Gloria Anzaldua Prize, and of the 2013 "Heart at East" Honor Plaque for lifetime service to Mizrahi communities in the State of Israel.
