"This book focuses on an indigenous community, known as the Jawlanis, notably their experience of everyday occupation and their politics of resistance to settler colonization. Chapters feature discussion of the politics of the goverened, the policies of Jawlani sculpture, the role of Israeli education policies and the history of agroecological changes. To illustrate the ways in which the current regime of Israeli rule has been contested, there are contributions on the six-month strike of 1982, youth mobilization in the occupied Golan, Palestinian solidarity movements, Jawlani art and writing, Jawlani counter-mapping and the hidden history of an Israeli ski resort. Rich in ethnographic detail and interdisciplinary, the book is unique in bringing together Jawlani, Palestinian and UK researchers. The innovative format features shorter 'reflections' from young Arab researchers and activists that respond to more traditional academic chapters" --
