Routledge - From Ultrasound to Army: Masculinity in Israel

Explore the deep emotional landscape of Israeli parenting in this profound study by Hanni Mann-Shalvi. This book examines how the reality of compulsory military service at age 18 shapes the way parents raise their sons. By looking at both conscious and unconscious factors, the text reveals the hidden emotional drama that exists within Israeli families. Set against a unique backdrop of Jewish and Israeli history, the research investigates the trajectories of masculinity from early development to adulthood. It provides a rare look into the psychological norms that govern parenting in a society where military service is an inevitable part of life. This work is an essential resource for those studying the connection between national history, family dynamics, and the psychological development of young men.
