  • The offspring of interethnic marriage: relations of children with parental and maternal gradparents.
    STAHL, Abraham
    Over the last decades 15 to 20 per cent of all Jewish marriages in Israel were between members of the two different ethnic groups, the Orientals and Ashkenazis. At present at least 15 per cent of the ... school population is of mixed ethnic origin. This article gives an account of a study involving 136 children in sixth to eighth grade belonging to this group (boys and girls, hypergamous and hypogamous marriages in equal numbers) and tries to answer questions as to their distance or proximity to either ethnic group by probing the children's knowledge about and relations with their parental and maternal grandparents and their attitudes towards them. The results of the investigation show that there seems to be a small inclination in favour of the Ashkeanzi side, but that generally the children maintain close connections with both sides of the family and the outstanding finding, given the higher status of the Ashkenazis in Israeli society, is how small Ethnic and Racial Studies the with either side. It is concluded that this finding is an indication of the increasing integration within Israel's Jewish society.
