AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This monograph describes and analyzes transformation in the social order of Israel — termed nation-building and development — during its first decade of independence from 1948 to 1958. Willner examines changes in a major national development program, rural land settlement, changes in the agencies charged with carrying it out, and changes in the organization of new immigrant villages in Israel, and in the lives of their inhabitants. As background for the study of immigrant settlements in Israel, the author presents a reconstruction of the traditional way of life of a community of Jews in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco prior to emigration to Israel, pp. 253-302. This information has been indexed only for category 170. Willner then describes the emigration of the inhabitants of this community to Israel and their settlement in a series of villages in that country. A detailed description of one of these villages during its first year in Israel is followed by brief reviews of contrastive village histories and an analysis of factors contributing to their different histories at different phases of this not always successful evolution into communities, or, at least into communities in formation (pp. 25-26).
