Confronting the Occupation is a study of work, education,
political-national resistance, family, and community relations in a
Palestinian refugee camp under conditions of Israeli military
occupation. It is based on extended field research carried out by
an Israeli sociologist-anthropologist in Dheisheh camp, south of
Bethlehem, between 1992 and 1996. Emphasis is placed on how men and
women, families, and the local refugee community confront the
occupation regime as they seek livelihoods, invest in the education
of younger generations, and mount a political and often militant
struggle. In the process, men lose their jobs in the Israeli labor
market, women, old and young, enter the workforce, university
graduates are compelled to migrate to the Gulf, and political
cadres challenge harsh prison circumstances by establishing their
own comprehensive counterorder. While directed against the
occupation, patterns of coping and resistance adopted by
Dheishehians introduced tensions and conflicts into family life,
furthering the transformation of gender and generational
relationships.
