Cultural distance from the internal other: education and relations with the other as discussed in life stories
Résumé
Life stories enable one to trace the manner in which identity construction takes place, especially amongst members of multicultural and multiethnic societies. In this paper, the life-stories of six women belonging to three different groups, all residents of the Beer Sheba area in Israel, were analyzed by applying and extending Bar-On's (2008) theory of identity construction which focuses upon the relations with the "internal other" and the "external other." Specifically, the intersection between education and relations with others as shaping identity during the women's various life courses were investigated.
