Book description

The religion and state debate in Israel has overlooked the Palestinian-Arab religious communities and their members, focusing almost exclusively on Jewish religious institutions and norms and Jewish majority members. Because religion and state debates in many other countries are defined largely by minority religions' issues, the debate in Israel is anomalous. Michael Karayanni advances a legal matrix that explains this anomaly by referencing specific constitutional values. At the same time, he also takes a critical look at these values and presents the argument that what might be seen as liberal and multicultural is at its core just as illiberal and coercive. In making this argument, A Multicultural Entrapment suggests a set of multicultural qualifications by which one should judge whether a group based accommodation is of a multicultural nature.

Reviews

'The book is very important, rich, and instructive. It offers a new perspective for those interested in learning about religion and state in Israel or about often disregarded issues related to the Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel.'

Nohad ‘Ali Source: Israel Studies Review

‘… a groundbreaking contribution to the discourse on multiculturalism, minorities within minorities, and the dynamics of religion-State interactions in Israel, beyond conventional Jewish-centric perspectives … the book will continue to inspire and inform many more future debates on multiculturalism and policies of multicultural accommodation, leaving a lasting impact on the field.’
