Abstract

Exploring the past and present of anthropology in Israel, this entry examines anthropological practices and objectives in Israel. It also introduces the existence of an Israeli anthropological association, its work in recent decades, and its struggles with Israeli politics and its own limitations. It includes a discussion on the changes that anthropologists have made since the establishment of anthropology in Israel.
