The book examines the integration of Arab-Palestinian society, an ethnic minority within the nation-state of Israel, in Israel’s political system and the relation between political trends, leadership, and identity. It also delves into the causes of the crisis in Arab localities and the relations to the local political structure.

The Arab-Palestinian community, which constitutes 20 percent of Israel’s population, is an ethnic minority living mainly in ethnically homogeneous cities and villages. Arab-Palestinian Society in the Israeli Political System offers a comprehensive, detailed examination of Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel within the Green Line in the twenty-first century. Rami Zeedan analyzes political trends, leadership, and the effects on Arab-Palestinian identity in Israel of recent changes, especially the 2015 legislative elections. The author also sheds light on the crisis and identifies the sources and relations to the local political structure in Arab localities in Israel. The book discusses the implications of the integration of an ethnic minority in an ethnic state and on the definition of Israel as “Jewish and Democratic.”

Rami Zeedan is assistant professor of Israel studies in the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Kansas.
