Summary: "Palestine is Throwing a Party and the Whole World is Invited is one of the first books to explore political economy, class, state, and social relations in the contemporary West Bank. It is a materialist ethnography of social change, centered on projects to build large-scale, private housing development. It demonstrates how private firms, international aid organizations, and the Palestinian government in the West Bank reoriented Palestine away from national politics towards state-scale economic stability and market building"-- Provided by publisher
