{"product_id":"contemporary-israeli-haredi-society-hardback","title":"Contemporary Israeli Haredi Society - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume offers profiles of contemporary Israeli Haredi (i.e., Jewish Ultra-Orthodox) society from several disciplinary points of view, resisting a generalized approach and examining the different, sometimes competing currents, that define it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is argued that Haredi society has undergone a process of rejuvenation in recent history: demographically, it has experienced steady and consistent growth; on the Israeli political stage, Haredi parties have become increasingly influential; and culturally, the Haredi presence is increasingly felt in Israeli news media, popular movies, and TV series. Each of the chapters in the book focuses on a particular topic and combines research findings with an assessment of the current state of the field. These topics encompass Haredi ideology, politics, military service, education, geography, the media, and healthcare – together, they paint a complex picture of Haredi society as one of contradictory layers, dimensions, and aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking sense of contemporary Haredi society is critical for anyone interested in understanding Israeli society as a whole, but the book will also appeal to historians of religion, scholars of contemporary conservative enclave religious societies and cultures, and those who focus on Jewish studies in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566138679534,"sku":"9781032325583","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/contemporary-israeli-haredi-society-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
