Summary/Abstract

The article presents narratives of young Bedouin women who attended Jewish schools. An analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with eight young women after they graduated high school and completed academic graduate studies was carried out by examining three mechanisms of choice of identity (Spector-Mersel) through the prism of the unsayable. The findings show a process fraught with representations of personal and social identities, demonstrating differences between their traditional society and the Western society in which they were educated. These point to the strength, security, and autonomy that these students developed, while also reflecting the high cost they had to pay.

Summary/Abstract

Recently there has been a growing tendency among Israeli Arab teachers to work in Jewish schools. This trend has several sociopolitical and economic reasons but is generally viewed as a welcome development that should be encouraged. Based on interviews with ten Arab teachers in Jewish schools, this article seeks to delve into their living experience and understand their motivations and aspirations, as well as the obstacles they encounter. Its findings underscore two main obstacles that need to be surmounted: cultural differences and lower mastery of the Hebrew language, on the one hand, and the tension attending a different ethnic/national identity from that of the taught audience, on the other.
