Sol's Jam Report

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Sum stuff I wrote.

Israel: the foremost example of (constructed) ethnocentrism and nationalism. The basis? Religion, yes. But also a sense of a familiar, communal, historical bond...

Notice the infrastructure challenge: Signs in three languages-- Hebrew, Arabic, and English. How can we reconcile the linguistic/religious/ethnic divides in this country?

Israeli youth: enveloped and saturated in American pop culture.

"Laying the foundation."
