In My Voice Is My Weapon, David A. McDonald rethinks the
conventional history of the Palestinian crisis through an
ethnographic analysis of music and musicians, protest songs, and
popular culture. Charting a historical narrative that stretches
from the late-Ottoman period through the end of the second
Palestinian intifada, McDonald examines the shifting politics of
music in its capacity to both reflect and shape fundamental aspects
of national identity. Drawing case studies from Palestinian
communities in Israel, in exile, and under occupation, McDonald
grapples with the theoretical and methodological challenges of
tracing "resistance" in the popular imagination, attempting to
reveal the nuanced ways in which Palestinians have confronted and
opposed the traumas of foreign occupation. The first of its kind,
this book offers an in-depth ethnomusicological analysis of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, contributing a performative
perspective to the larger scholarly conversation about one of the
world's most contested humanitarian issues.
