Conclusion -- Appendix: Letter Sent Summary Despite consensus about the importance of multigenerational analysis for studying the long-term impact of immigration, most studies in Israel have focused on the integration of first-generation migrants, neglecting key changes (in economic, social, linguistic, and identity outcomes) that occur intergenerationally. Rebeca Raijman tackles this important but untold story with respect to Jewish South African immigration in Israel. By collecting data from three generational cohorts, Raijman analyzes assimilation from a comparative multigenerational perspective. She also combines both quantitative and qualitative evidence with in-depth interviews and participant observation, thereby providing a rich and more complete picture of the complex process of migrant assimilation Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 2, 2016) Subject Jews, South African -- Israel Jews, South African -- Cultural assimilation -- Israel Immigrants -- Cultural assimilation -- Israel Jews, South African -- Social aspects -- Israel SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Discrimination & Race Relations.
