Minority within a Minority?: Representation of Palestinian Arab Female Citizens in Israeli Mainstream Press

Abstract

This article examines instrumental role of Israeli mainstream press in the processes of “coalescing” and “controlled otherization” in line with the ethnic, gendered and ethno-gendered hegemonies. The article indicates that Israeli mainstream press generally undermines the gendered inequalities in Israel, while coalescing the Israel’s Palestinian/ Arab female citizens who embrace their Israeliness, and otherizing the ones, who structurally criticize the dominant Israeli structure.

Keywords
