Leila Farsakh provides the first comprehensive analysis of the rise
and fall of Palestinian labour flows to Israel. Highlighting the
interdependence between Israel's confiscation of Palestinian land
and the use of Palestinian labour, she shows how migration has been
the result of evolving dynamics of Israeli occupation and the
reality of Palestinian labour force growth. This study analyzes the
pattern of Palestinian labour supply, the role of Israel's
territorial and economic policies in the Occupied Territories in
releasing Palestinian labour from the land, and the nature of
Israeli demand for Palestinian workers, especially in the
construction sector where the majority of commuting labourers are
concentrated. New light is shed on the growth of illegal Israeli
settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which are being built
by Palestinian workers. Palestinian Labour Migration to Israel is
original in its analysis of the contrasting forces of separation
and the integration between Israel and the Palestinian territories,
showing that the changing patterns in labour flows reflect a
process of redefinition of the 1967 borders. It will be of valuable
interest to economists and development specialists as well as to
scholars, policy makers and all those concerned with the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
