Words and Stones: The Politics of Language and Identity in Israel - Oxford Studies in Anthropological Linguistics
Lefkowitz, Daniel (Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Asian & Middle Eastern Languages & Cultures, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Asian & Middle Eastern Languages & Cultures, University of Virginia)
Social and ethnic identity are nowhere more enmeshed with language than in Israel. Words and Stones explores the politics of identity in Israel through an analysis of the social life of language. By examining the social choices Israelis make when they speak, and the social meanings such choices produce, Daniel Lefkowitz reveals how Israeli identities are negotiated through language.
