A Way Ahead: Development Plan for the Bedouin Towns in the Negev

The authors claim that the situation of Bedouins in their seven towns in Israel???s Negev is a national disgrace. These towns lack most urban amenities, their population suffers from the highest unemployment, and lowest income rates in the country. Poor educational facilities ensure that the population will fall further behind as the country develops scientifically and technologically. In their effort to trace the roots of the current situation, the authors found that the major cause of the problem is a combination of poorly conceived urban policies that created the towns without the least effort to make them viable, and systemic discrimination, which prevented any serious remedial efforts from taking place. The authors also offer suggestions for change.
