Living under settler colonialism and patriarchal oppressions,
Palestinian women in Israel are expected to operate even the most
intimate aspects of their lives according to what some call "The
Plan," which dictates everything from clothing, marriage, religion,
and sex to how children are born and raised. In Defying "The Plan,"
Kim Jezabel Zinngrebe draws from a series of moving interviews to
reveal that despite various forms of intertwined oppressions by
both the Israeli state and Palestinian society, Palestinian women
show defiance by the quotidian choices they make in their own
intimate lives under occupation, which, Zinngrebe argues, cannot be
perceived as a mere corollary but constitute a pivotal and
contested terrain of the struggle between settler and colonized.
Defying "The Plan" explores such issues as the segregation of
sexual education in Palestine; the politics of dress, menstruation,
and tattoos; and the roles of class, feminism, and race.
Importantly, she highlights the intersectional experiences of women
typically excluded from existing accounts, such as Black
Palestinian women, women with disabilities, unmarried and divorced
women, Bedouin women, and LGBTQI women. The stories gathered in
Defying "The Plan" trace and unpack settler colonial power at the
level of the intimate and native women's various practices of
defiance.
