About this book

This book sheds light on the ways in which the on-going Israeli-Arab conflict has shaped Arabic language instruction. Due to its interdisciplinary nature it will be of great interest to academics and researchers in security and middle eastern studies as well as those focused on language and linguistics.

Reviews

“This is the most comprehensive and well-documented study, examining Arabic studies in Israel in relation to security considerations. This important book is a contribution to sociolinguistics in general, and Arabic studies in particular, and also to the fields of political and social sciences, employing language to shed light on sociopolitical conflicts.” (Muhammad Amara, Journal of Palestine Studies, Vol. 145, Winter, 2016)
