Introduction -- 1. Historic background -- 2. Orientalisation, securitisation and minoritisation of Arabic -- 3. The (in)visibility of Arabic : the linguistic landscape -- 4. Modernisation, globalisation and citizenship in Israel -- 5. Autobiography and language choice -- 6. Arabic in Jordan and Palestine -- Conclusion.
Arabic became a minority language overnight in Israel in 1948, as a result of the Palestinian exodus from their land that year. Although it remains an official language, along with Hebrew, Israel has made continued attempts to marginalize Arabic on the one hand and securitize it on the other. The author delves into these tensions and contradictions, exploring how language policy and language choice both reflect and challenge political identities of Arabs and Israelis. She explores the historic context of Arabic in Israel, the attempts at minoritizing, Orientalizing and securitizing the language, the Linguistic Landscape of Arabic in Israel, the effect of globalization, modernization and citizenship status on the status of Arabic, Hebrew as a language choice of (semi) autobiographical productions of three Israeli authors who are native speakers of Arabic, and lastly, a comparison with the status of Arabic in both Jordan and Palestine (West Bank and Gaza Strip) where Arabic is the official language.
Camelia Suleiman is Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Languages at Michigan State University. She is author of Language and Identity in the Israel-Palestine Conflict: The Politics of Self-Perception in the Middle East (2011).
