Palestinians living on different sides of the Green Line make up
approximately one-fifth of Israeli citizens and about four-fifths
of the population of the West Bank. In both groups, activists
assert that they share a single political struggle for national
liberation. Yet, obstacles inhibit their ability to speak to each
other and as a collective. Geopolitical boundaries fragment
Palestinians into ever smaller groups. Crossing a Line enters these
distinct environments for political expression and action of
Palestinians who carry Israeli citizenship and Palestinians subject
to Israeli military occupation in the West Bank, and considers how
Palestinians are differently impacted by dispossession, settler
colonialism, and militarism. Amahl Bishara looks to sites of
political practice-journalism, historical commemorations, street
demonstrations, social media, in prison, and on the road-to analyze
how Palestinians create collectivities in these varied
circumstances. She draws on firsthand research, personal
interviews, and public media to examine how people shape and
reshape meanings in circumstances of constraint. In considering
these different environments for political expression and action,
Bishara illuminates how expression is always grounded in place-and
how a people can struggle together for liberation even when they
cannot join together in protest.
