Description

Between Conflict and Collegiality explores how ethnonational-religious struggle between Jews and Palestinians affects relations in ethnically mixed work teams in Israel. Asaf Darr documents the tensions that permeate the workplace and reveals when such tensions threaten the cohesion of the work environment. Darr chronicles the grassroots coping strategies employed by both Jewish and Palestinian through field studies conducted with workers in various sectors in Israel, adopting a comparative method that identifies the differences in how ethnonational-religious tensions play out. Between Conflict and Collegiality asks how workers deal with external ethnonational and religious pressures and whether the broader ethnonational conflict is reflected in the career expectations and trajectories of minority group members. Darr examines whether minority group members' use of their own language at work become a point of contestation; how religion is manifested in the workplace; whether co-workers from different ethnonational groups form amicable relations that extend beyond the workplace; and whether positive experiences working in ethnically mixed workplaces have the potential to mitigate conflict in the wider society.

Acknowledgments

This book is the culmination of twelve years of academic work. It has benefited from the help and generosity of many people and organizations. My sincere thanks go to my colleagues at the University of Haifa, Yuval Yonay, Yuval Fein stein, and Vered Kraus, who have provided much valuable advice and criticism over the years. I am grateful to the Israel Science Foundation (agreement no. 667/10), which funded the first study on which this book is based, and to the Israel Democracy Institute for sponsoring and administrating the second study, and in particular to Nasreen Hadad HajYahya, director of its Arab Society in Israel Program. Nasreen Hadad HajYahya, together with her colleagues Eli Bahar and Dana Blander, engaged me in stimulating and critical discussions that con tributed to deepening my thinking on the broader meaning of my findings. Nas reen and Eli also furnished important assistance in securing research sites in the health and hightech sectors. During the research for this book, I have benefited from the feedback and critical comments of many colleagues in various fora where I presented aspects of my work. My appreciation goes to the participants in the 2012 Jaffa Convention (Jaffa); the 2016 (Tel Aviv), 2019 (Haifa) and 2020 (Ramat Gan) conferences of the Israeli Sociological Society; a session of the 2016 International Labour Pro cess Conference (Berlin); and the 2016 Annual Meeting of ESPnet Israel (Haifa). Their pertinent comments and questions helped me hone my analysis of the relations between Palestinian Arabs and Jews at work. I am deeply grateful to Philippa Shimrat, who edited the text with great skill and patience. I am fortunate to have worked with her. Huge thanks are due to the editorial staff of Cornell University Press, especially Jim Lance, who guided me through the complex process of bringing the book to press. I would like to express my warm thanks to my three very talented research assistants, Fadwa Aftima, Luda Garmash, and Mahmoud Kanaaneh, who not only helped me conduct and transcribe the interviews but also took part in data analysis. Their thoughtful feedback on early drafts of the findings provided important insights. My informants and interviewees in the different work organizations I studied were very generous with their time and their willingness to trust me and share their work experiences with me and my research assistants. Especially for the PalestinianArab interviewees, the questions touched on sensitive topics and at

times required them to recall unpleasant incidents. I am most grateful for every thing that they contributed to this project. I would also like to thank the top and middle managers in the various work organizations who granted me access and provided me with administrative support such as suitable interview spaces. Chapter 2 elaborates and places in a comparative framework some ideas that appeared in my 2018 article in “Work, Employment, and Society.” I use material from this article with permission. Finally, my deepest thanks are to my family. My wife Orna was the first to hear and criticize nascent ideas during the years of this study. She was part of many stimulating discussions, a perceptive commentator on my many drafts, and sup ported me emotionally during this long process. Her love is my main source of strength in our mutual journey through life. I also want to thank our beloved children, Rimon and Adam, simply for being there. They are the source of so much happiness and pride.
