| Abstract | |
In the 1970¿s the Beta Israel, a group of Ethiopian origin, was recognized as Jews by the Chief Rabbinate making possible their immigration to Israel. This work describes the Ethiopian immigration and the relations these immigrants established among themselves and with the Israeli society and State, as well as the transformations experienced by the Beta Israel in that new context. It is a result of fieldwork and presents an alternative view to the materials already produced about these "Ethiopian Jews". Instead of analitically emphasizing their "Blackness" or their "Jewishness", the work also pays attention to different and complex forms of "Blacknesses" and "Jewishnesses" at play in Israel and to the manner in which they interact in the context of claims to an equality of rights inside the State (AU) | |
