The descendants of time and the lodgers of space The life stories of teacher trainees who immigrated to Israel during the 1990s

This paper attempts to characterize teacher trainees who immigrated to Israel during the 1990s.

The life stories of six students who emi­grated from the Ukraine, Russia, the Georgian Re­pub­lic, Argentina, Chile, and Ethiopia are ana­lyzed.

The central finding suggests that their stories are devoid of the human, geographic, and cultural aspects of Israeli society. This finding is surprising because it differs from other studies.

We used the Foucauldian concepts of the descendants of time and the lodgers of space for understanding the phenomenon.
