‘What makes one an Israeli?’ Negotiating identities in everyday representations of ‘Israeliness’

Written by Rakefet Sela Sheffy from Tel Aviv University’s Unit of Culture Research, this 19-page long article explores the construction of an Israeli identity not found in public political discourse, based on open responses to the question ‘What makes one an Israeli?’.
