Summary

Sabar (education, Tel Aviv University) examines the lives of a group of Israeli emigrants living in Los Angeles in the 1980s and early 1990s. Through extensive interviews in which these "kibbutzniks" share their life stories, she uncovers what pushed them to leave the kibbutz in Israel and pulls them to remain in Los Angeles. An underlying theme is the search for identity under changing conditions.

Author Biography

Naama Sabar is Associate Professor of Education at Tel Aviv University
