Description
Orit Rozin, is senior lecturer in the Department of Jewish History at Tel Aviv University. Her research interests and publications focus on the social, legal and cultural history of the Israeli state and society in the 1950s and 1960s. Rozin has published articles on Israeli legislation and ruling; the relations between policy-makers and the media, and between immigrants and old-timers, on desparate housewives in times of austerity, and on the image of Mizrahi women. Other published works deal with various aspects of quotidian life which reflect and mold national identity, such as hygiene, parenthood and food consumption.
Her book, The Rise of the Individual in 1950s Israel: A Challenge to Collectivism (2011), was published by UPNE/Brandeis University Press. The Hebrew version of the book, published by Am Oved Press and the Chaim Weizmann Institute at Tel Aviv University received the Shapiro best book award in 2009.
Her book A Home for all Jews: Citizenship, Rights and National Identity in the New Israeli State was published by UPNE/Brandeis University Press in July 2016. Rozin is currently working on a new manuscript: A History of Fear: Israelis in the Shadow of War, 1949-1967.
