By analysing its position within the struggles for recognition and reception of different national and ethnic cultural groups, this book offers a new picture of Israeli literature. Through comparative discussion of the literatures of Palestinian citizens of Israel, of Mizrahim, of migrants from the former Soviet Union, and of Ethiopian-Israelis, the author demonstrates a richness and diversity in the Israeli literary scene.
