| Summary: | While there are books that describe the history and traditions of the Druze as an ethnic and religious group, this is the first and only academic book of its kind. It gives voice to the Israeli Druze, through in-depth interviews with 120 people, 60 young adults and 60 of their parents' generation.

What contradictions and continuity come to light in the stories of this people during a time of transition? |
