This study addresses the retrospective experiences of older Arab Israeli women after a lifetime of living in the shadow of intimate partner violence. Qualitative research was conducted, using in-depth, semi-structured interviews of 15 Arab Israeli older women. Underlying this study is a feminist perspective and a life course perspective. Two main themes emerged: (1) socially endorsed violence against Arab Israeli women. This took several forms: men's dominant position and women's dependence, sources of violence used against women before and after marriage, and the social education of women to accept their fate. (2) The construction of a multifaceted survival identity throughout Arab Israeli women's life and old age. This identity has a variety of dimensions, including: a submissive victim identity, a rehabilitative identity of respect in old age, and a form of split identity that combines both the rehabilitative social identity and the marginal identity still experienced within the home.
本研究探讨了老年阿拉伯裔以色列女性在长期遭受亲密伴侣暴力后回顾性的经历。本研究采用了定性研究方法，对 15 名阿拉伯裔以色列老年女性进行了深入的半结构化访谈。本研究的理论基础是女性主义视角和生命历程视角。研究主要得出两个主题：（1）社会认可的针对阿拉伯裔以色列女性的暴力。这种暴力有多种形式：男性的主导地位和女性的依赖，婚前和婚后针对女性使用的暴力来源，以及社会对女性接受命运的教育。（2）在阿拉伯裔以色列女性的整个生命历程和老年时期构建多方面的生存认同。这种认同具有多种维度，包括：顺从的受害者身份、老年时受尊重的康复身份，以及一种混合了康复的社会身份和在家中仍然经历的边缘化身份的分裂身份。
