Bringing together a vivid array of analog and non-traditional
sources, including colonial archives, newspaper reports,
literature, oral histories, and interviews, Buried in the Red Dirt
tells a story of life, death, reproduction and missing bodies and
experiences during and since the British colonial period in
Palestine. Using transnational feminist reading practices of
existing and new archives, the book moves beyond authorized frames
of collective pain and heroism. Looking at their day-to-day lives,
where Palestinians suffered most from poverty, illness, and high
rates of infant and child mortality, Frances Hasso's book shows how
ideologically and practically, racism and eugenics shaped British
colonialism and Zionist settler-colonialism in Palestine in
different ways, especially informing health policies. She examines
Palestinian anti-reproductive desires and practices, before and
after 1948, critically engaging with demographic scholarship that
has seen Zionist commitments to Jewish reproduction projected onto
Palestinians. This title is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
