Israel/Palestine

"The long-term impact of Kimmerling’s thought and his unique persona is reflected in the diversity of the 18 contributions to this essential volume. They include for the most part Israeli-Jewish writers, but also several Palestinian intellectuals; mostly men, but also several women; mostly sociologists, but a significant number of contributors from other disciplines (political science, geography, history, international relations). This gamut represents, at least partially, Kimmerling’s perception of Israeli society as highly diverse and his conscious effort to resist attempts to homogenize it from above—attempts often supported by leading forces within academia that Kimmerling opposed throughout his career, sometimes incurring significant personal harm." - Israel Studies Review, Ilan Peleg, Spring 2019
