Rezensionen

"Through close examinations of mundane moments of leisure and work, oppression and resistance, silencing and resistance, this volume carves out a space between history and anthropology. It is a fascinating collection of empirical studies that makes an excellent contribution to shaping the emerging field of integrated and relational Palestine/Israel Studies."

Tamir Sorek, Liberal Arts Professor of Middle East History, Penn State University, United States

"Entangled Histories in Palestine/Israel: Historical and Anthropological Perspectives is a truly original collection of critical research exploring historical, political and social events, and places and moments in Palestine/Israel. The book presents a diversity of academic disciplines as well as rich theoretical discussion and empirical evidence. This book is a foundational, and most updated, critical study on Palestine/Israel, and will certainly be a key source of knowledge."

Haim Yacobi, Professor of Development Planning, The Bartlett Development Planning Unit, UCL, United Kingdom

"In integrating Arab and Jewish narrative perspectives this book provides a long overdue treatment of national and ethnic splits in Palestine/Israel in novel ways. It approaches the history of Palestine and Israel from a critical perspective, mixing anthropological and from-below-historical aspects largely marginalized from the historiography of the region. In bringing forth the experiences, perceptions and memories of ordinary people in national conflict, and emphasizing the role of gender in the creation of a common Arab-Jewish perspective on the quotidian experience of politics, the book widens the notion of the political."
