AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This work is a sociological study of Jews who in 1956 emigrated from the village of Amran (a pseudonymn) in the Atlas mountains of northwest Africa, to a co-operative village in Israel, which the authors calls Romema. Shokeiad analyzes the patterns, processes and problems of adjustment and change of this immigrant population in Romema with a primary emphasis on politics and family relations. Much of the analysis concentrates on the confrontation and interaction between economic and social environmental conditions and the relevant past social situation and traditional norms. In the sphere of marital relationships, the author analyzes the clash between the community's social and cultural (particularly religious) norms about women's roles and status which in the country of origin had accompanied their exclusion from economic activities and their subordination to men, and the conditions in the period of the 1950s-1960s which favored women's participation in economic activities and consequently changes in their status (p. 7). Chapter 2, pp. 15-33, dealing with the community of Amran in Morocco, has been indexed only for category 170 as general background to the study of this immigrant population.
