2018ref. 52069Leiden: Brill 2018. First edition. Octavo. xii 288pp. Index. Dark green over light blue boards spine lettered in white. A fine as new copy. This new research investigates socio-political and ethnic-cultural conflicts over wage gaps in Israel during the 1950s. The Academic Middle-Class Rebellion exposes the struggle of the Ashkenazi European professional elite to capitalize on its advantages during the first decade of Israeli statehood by attempting to maximize wage gaps between themselves and the new Oriental Jewish proletariat. This struggle was met with great resistance from the government under the ruling party Mapai and its leader David Ben-Gurion. The clash between the two sides revealed diverse contradictory visions of the optimal socio-economic foundation for establishing collective identity in the new nation-state. The study by Avi Bareli and Uri Cohen uncovers patterns that merged nationalism and socialism in 1950s Israel confronting a liberal and meritocratic vision. Contents: 1. Distributive justice and the white-collar workforce: the outbreak of conflict -- 2. The 'engine-coach car' dilemma: MAPAI's discourse on class ethnicity and modernization -- 3. "In torn soles on a marble floor": the Guri Committee and Sharett government debates on white-collar workers' wages 1954-1955 -- 4. "On your mark!" public discourse after the 1955 elections -- 5. "If they strike-so be it!" the socialist pact to thwart the Guri Committee recommendations -- 6. A class-inclusive strike. Volume 30 of the Brill series "Jewish Identities in a Changing World.

Lapointe Cuff 1920-2009 was a newcomer recently arrived from distant Greenfield about seven miles away after her marriage to a metal worker and settling to raise a family in Millers Falls.
