Too often, the study of Israel/Palestine has focused on elite
actors and major events. "Struggle and Survival in
Palestine/Israel" takes advantage of new sources about everyday
life and the texture of changes on the ground to put more than two
dozen human faces on the past and present of the region. With
contributions from a leading cast of scholars across disciplines,
the stories here are drawn from a variety of sources, from stories
passed down through generations to family archives, interviews, and
published memoirs. As these personal narratives are transformed
into social biographies, they explore how the protagonists were
embedded in but also empowered by their social and historical
contexts. This wide-ranging and accessible volume brings a human
dimension to a conflict-ridden history, emphasizing human agency,
introducing marginal voices alongside more well-known ones, defying
"typical" definitions of Israelis and Palestinians, and,
ultimately, redefining how we understand both "struggle" and
"survival" in a troubled region.
