“…The divide between the Jews of 'Western' extraction and those from Asia and Africa has been described by some commentators as particularly pronounced (Khazzoom 2003, Shohat 1988, and there is voluminous literature demonstrating that throughout the history of Israel, the olim of European descent have retained their privileged socio-economic position and maintained claims to cultural superiority (e.g. Schwarz 2001, Shenhav 2006, Hodes 2014, Lavie 2014.…”

“…Exten sive literature in sociology, psychology, and psy chiatry identifies historical social stigmas and how subgroups overcame them, in some cases in the form of social movements. Members of society have suf fered social discrimination for a broad variety of reasons, including mental illnesses and disorders (Hinshaw, 2007;Kroska and Harkness, 2006), race (Loury, 2003), religion (Khazzoom, 2003), sexual preferences (Gentry, 1987), physical disabilities (Friedman, 2004), or specific behaviors (Stuber et al, 2008), to cite only a few.

ABSTRACT. This study introduces the concept of moral imagination in a work context to provide an ethical approach to the controversial relationships between dirty work and dirty workers. Moral imagination is assessed as an essential faculty to overcome the stigma associated with dirty work and facilitate the daily work lives of workers. The exercise of moral imagination helps dirty workers to face the moral conflicts inherent in their tasks and to build a personal stance toward their occupation. Finally, we argue that organizations with dirty work groups should actively adopt measures to encourage their employees' exercise of moral imagination. This study investigates how organizations might create conditions that inspire moral imagination, particularly with regard to the importance of organizational culture as a means to enhance workers' moral sensitivity. Furthermore, this investigation analyzes different company practices that may derive from a culture committed to moral imagination.

“…Despite the similarities of oppression experienced by people of Arab Jewish origin and their common existence at the Israeli margins (Alcalay 1993;Bernstein and Swirsky 1982;Dahan-Kalev 2001;Khazzom 2003;Lavie 1996;Motzafi-Haller 2001;Saporta and Yonah 2004;Shohat 1988Shohat , 1999aShohat , 1999bShohat , 2003, the ethnic differences between various groups of Arab Jews have not disappeared completely and a sense of "homelessness" is felt by some of the ethnic groups who inhabit the borderland. Such is the case of the Libyan Jews, whose unique musical style has remained largely invisible.…”

This article deals with the emergence of a popular musical field as an Arab Jewish borderland on the margins of the Middle East conflict. This borderland has crystallized as a site of empowerment for some Arab Jews, mostly Yemenites, and has simultaneously encompassed multiple ethnic conflicts. The conflicts have emerged between the borderland itself and the dominant Israeli musical style and concurrently through the inner struggles between different Arab Jewish styles competing for cultural supremacy. This study demonstrates the paradoxical nature of the Arab Jewish musical borderland, in which frequent crossings of musical borders not only fail to breach national boundaries but also serve to sustain them.
