Page vii Preface Since coming to Israel from the United States in 1975, I have asked myself, and have been asked by others, why I emigrated. The answer, in part, is that I was fascinated by the country's politics and policy making. At the beginning of my career, I had sought a teaching position in the American South in order to learn at first hand the problems and responses of people in politically difficult circumstances. Then, after a period at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I was offered a position at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. This, I thought, would give me the opportunity to observe politics and policy making at their most difficult, and to observe Jews dealing with the experience of building a still new country in the problematic context of the Middle East. I recall a morning newspaper in Madison that featured a debate in the Wisconsin legislature about the length of the deer hunting season. That story did not send me to Israel. Wisconsin's reactions to the war in Vietnam and to the issues of racism, sexism, and environmental pollution provided their own learning experiences. Nonetheless, the momentary preoccupation of Wisconsin with the deer hunting season suggested to me that life in Jerusalem would be more meaningful.
