'Ten original research articles . . . provide a contemporary picture of not only the work of Palestinian Israeli citizens, but also the dual Israeli economy and labor market, one Jewish and one Arab . . . . Geography, economics, law, and sociology are brought together to describe and provide a detailed understanding of a situation the authors challenge . . . Recommended.' - Choice

"Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this important volume fills a gap in knowledge about Palestinian citizens in the Israeli labor market. Original chapters provide detailed analysis of economic integration and the regional processes involved, while the volume as a whole offers a useful overview. Recommended for scholars, students, and policy makers interested in ethnicity, labor market issues, and minority-majority relations." - Anthony Heath, University of Oxford, UK

"Nabil Khattab and Sami Miaari have assembled a multi-disciplinary team to systematically examine the inequalities between Jews and Palestinians in the Israeli labor market. The result is a multi-faceted volume, which provides an economic account of a racially divided country and offers insight into the sources of advantage and disadvantage." - Tariq Modood, Director, University Research Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, University of Bristol, UK

"This is an valuable book that sheds new light on the diverse and unequal labor market experience of an important and under-researched minority, the Palestinian citizens of Israel. It will be of great interests to labor economists and sociologists as well as readers of Isreal/Palestine." - Leila Farsakh, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA
