Ari Engelberg

Singlehood and Religion

The Case of Israeli Religious Zionist Singles

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines prolonged singlehood in Religious Zionist society, a community that upholds conservative family values. Engelberg argues that late modern individualization processes, including changing attitudes toward gender, relationships, and intimacy, play a central role in creating this phenomenon and in communal responses to it.
