<br/><br/> Organizational scholars have long been interested in how social identity and demographic dissimilarity impact intergroup relations in the workplace. As the implications of such differences can often be subtle and difficult to capture, when scholars attempt to generate theory about the workplace dynamics generated by such dissimilarity and their meaning to those living these dynamics, it can be useful to explore extreme cases (Bamberger and Pratt, 2010). In Between Conflict and Collegiality, Darr does just that. Reflecting the extreme case of Palestinian Arabs and their Jewish coworkers in Israel, Darr’s data suggest that conventional theories of social identity, intergroup relations, and workplace diversity offer inadequate explanations for how parties to active and violent ethno-national and interreligious conflict cope with inherent distrust and discrimination, collaborate, and even (albeit more rarely) develop close friendships at work.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00018392241250337<br/>
