The book shows how minority groups recreate their traditions and employ them as a means to preserve ethnic boundaries, to redefine identity, and to move towards mainstream culture. The result is a variation of ritual syncretism, demonstrating the immigrants’ multiple social locations.

This book deals with how, starting in the 1960s, immigrant groups in Israel constructed their ethnic identity by reviving their ethnic festivals and turning them into part of Israeli society. For the immigrants, these festivals serve as a collective "definitional ceremony," with an intersection of ethnicity, culture, and identity. They also help them to develop cultural and religious syncretism. The discussion of their social and political leaders' ethnic activism provides important insights about the ways in which immigrant leaders employ their ethnic tradition as a resource for mobilizing cultural, social, and political capital that will facilitate their penetration of the cultural mainstream"--

A deeply moving personal testimony... Theatre can't change the world. But what it can do, when it's as good as this, is to send us out enriched by other people's passionate concern."--Guardian Intensely topical account of the life and early death of a young female activist--adapted from her own writings and published alongside the premiere.
