Transnational Migration to Israel in Global Comparative ContextSarah S. Willen Lexington Books, 2007 - 268 من الصفحات Transnational Migration to Israel in Global Comparative Context explores both how and why the recent influx of approximately two hundred thousand non-Jewish migrants from dozens of countries across the globe has led state officials to declare in definitive terms that Israel "is not on immigration country" despite its unwavering commitment to welcoming unlimited-numbers of "homeward-bound" Jewish immigrants. The presence of labor migrants, along with smaller groups of asylum seekers and victims of trafficking in women, has dramatically transformed the local labor economy of Israel/Palestine and generated a wide array of complicated legal, policy-related, cultural, and ideological questions and dilemmas for the Israeli state, local municipalities, and civil society. This book is distinctive not only in its incisive comparisons between Israel and other "destination countries," but also in its multifaceted analysis of how the Israeli migration regime has shaped, constrained, and been challenged by the arrival of these unanticipated migrants. These original essays analyze the relationship between transnational migration processes and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the heterogeneity of state and civil society responses to migrants' presence; transnational migrants' precarious status within existing local ethnoscapes and social hierarchies; the challenges their presence poses to Israel's distinctive citizenship regime; and undocumented migrants' efforts to craft "inhabitable spaces of welcome" within a consistently ambivalent and, since 2002, aggressively xenophobic host state.
