“…For this reason, for example, and in contrast to national movements in Europe, folklore did not serve as the unifying glue between the different Jewish subcultures that comprised the Jewish nation, since folklore represented a link to the Jewish cultures in the diaspora and was therefore perceived as a spanner in the wheels of the Zionist movement (Schrire 2019). Thus, the goal of the "melting pot" process was to reform the Arab-Jews' heritage by ideologically reintegrating them into the national identity.…”

Culture is constructed, negotiated, managed, and shared by various ideological, political, and moral reasonings which manifest themselves tangibly and intangibly in public monuments, architecture, memorial sites, theaters, museums, orchestras, and heritage associations. The contributions to this volume explore the intersection of cultural heritage and nationality in societies that are characterized by national, multi-national, and post-national concepts. They question the roles that cultural heritage plays in its various contexts, and the ways in which ideology functions to produce it.

The processes of constructing the cultural heritages of non-hegemonic ethnic groups that form part of the modern nation state entail a dynamic negotiation that exists in an asymmetrical forcefield. In light of this ongoing “cultural work”, the chapter examines the case study of ethnographic museums representing non-hegemonic Jewish ethnic groups that emigrated to the state of Israel from Arab/Muslim countries (“Mizrahim”). In particular, the analysis follows the journey undertaken by Mizrahi ethnic communities to preserve their cultural heritage, as part of the national narrative and cultural heritage shaped by Jewish ethnic groups that emigrated to the state of Israel from Europe (“Ashkenazim”). The ways in which a non-hegemonic ethnic cultural heritage takes shape in the context of a hegemonic ethnic-national cultural heritage turn the spotlight on the tension between ethnicity and nationality, hegemony and margins, uniformity and multiplicity that are part of nation states in the late modern era.
