About this product
Product Information
Wildfire is a wide-ranging, inter-disciplinary study of the "other side" of Israeli public life. Because the governmental service systems work poorly, and political protest has proved to be largely ineffective, the Israeli public has begun to take matters into their own hands, in effect creating numerous "alternative" service systems in almost all spheres of life. Lehman-Wilzig describes this phenomenon and analyzes the impact of the most important alternative systems: illegal settlement activity, a huge underground economy, pirate cable TV stations, "gray" education, Black medicine, anti-religious as well as anti-secular activity, and a growing demand for electoral reform and constitutionalization of the Israeli polity.

Reviews
"This book is extremely provocative, very clearly written, and well-structured. I found it interesting and, in places, fascinating. The topic is extremely important for the macro-understanding of the Israeli society, especially within the context of changes occurring since 1967." -- Ilan Peleg, Lafayette College "I like the fact that the author addresses 'real' problems in society, issues of the media, education, labor, and electoral reform for example. I believe that this book manifests a thorough understanding of some of the very subtle characteristics of the Israeli social/economic/political systems, and shows a clear insight into the nature of the fundamental problems in Israeli society, how the problems developed, and where the solutions to those problems may lie.The author's style of writing is clear and scholarly, yet it is also quite captivating." -- Gregory Mahler, University of Mississippi

Ordered was cancelled after payment was received. The excuse was my address was a problem. I have had over 50 shipments to my address with no problems On all ebay orders . I am a great eBay buyer and spend lots of money on this site. Noticed that the books were never relisted. This person either has a shop and sold them after I had paid or got a better offer. Stay clear of this buyer. Wish that I had read the feedback before. This has was an issue for someone else as well .

We don't always use the eBay shipping platform for heavier shipments - the address wasn't recognized as valid by the service used for label generation. We do not have a local shop, all our commerce is online. Thanks.
