The current issue of Bayan presents the article "Religion and Politics in the Negev: The Rise of Ra'am in the Bedouin Society" by Atia Alrhahla. The article explores the historical and social factors that have contributed to Ra'am's success among the Bedouin community in the Negev. Based on this case study, Alrhahla argues that the success of Arab political parties in Israel depends above all on their ability to recognize changing realities on the ground and adapt their strategies accordingly.
