Negotiating Difference in Israeli Scholarship: Towards A New Feminist Discourse

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter describes the early years of an emergent new radical Israeli feminist discourse – the Mizrahi feminist discourse. Mizrahi feminism, both as a grassroots feminist activist movement and as a significant theoretical and political challenge to mainstream liberal feminism, has grown dramatically since the early years depicted in this chapter. From a core group of a handful of marginalized women who published brief essays in radical, little circulated journals, the Mizrahi feminist movement grew to a thriving new organization known as Ahoti (“my sister”) with a distribution list of (at the time of this writing) about 90 members.
