Migration nowadays is a universal phenomenon often instigating extreme changes in the entire life cycle of the immigrants. Occasionally, immigration is liable to impose a certain degree of change also on the life of the absorbing society at large or of substantial sectors of it. Professor Ben-Sira, a world figure in medical sociology, advances the understanding of the factors that promote or impede readjustment of immigrants and of members of the absorbing society who may feel affected by that immigration. The author surveyed 500 new immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union, as well as 900 members of the absorbing society in order to understand the process of immigration and integration. This book not only contributes to the understanding of the factors explaining readjustment in the wake of immigration, but also provides insights with respect to the relationship between life-change and stress.
ZEEV BEN-SIRA (1925-1996) was Chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Director of the School of Social Work at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and for many years a Senior Research Associate at the Louis Gutman Israel Institute of Applied Social Research. He also served as a central committee member of the Israeli Sociological Association. In addition, he was Visiting Professor at Rutgers University, at Washington University in Seattle, and at UCLA's School of Public Health. He was the author of many papers and books, including Regression Stress and Readjustment in Aging (Praeger, 1991).
