An Arab Segregated Neighborhood in Tel-Aviv: the Case of Adjami
Abstract
The Arab neighborhood of Adjami is the core area for Tel-Aviv's Arab community. Unlike other similar communities in mixed Israeli cities such as Haifa and Jerusalem, Adjami has not previously been subject to geographic research. The paper examines the emergence of the neighborhood as an Arab ethnic enclave during the past twenty years with respect to the general metropolitan processes taking place in the Tel-Aviv region. The emergence of Adjami is much influenced by the general process of nationalism within the context of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, especially as regards the phenomenon of "nomad" Palestinian workers.References
