Summary
The author of Stateless Citizenship: The Palestinian-Arab Citizens of Israel (Brill, 2013), based on eight years of first-hand research into Palestinian-Arab citizenship in Israel (Stateless Citizenship (2013), PDF p.15).
Details
- The book is the culmination of first-hand research carried out during the last eight years into the dynamics of Palestinian-Arab citizenship in Israel; it seeks to analyze the nature of Palestinian-Arab existence within Israel as a Jewish state and deconstruct the exclusion embedded in its hierarchical citizenship framework (PDF p.15).
- Her analysis was shaped by posts and interactions with Haifa-based Palestinian civil society organizations, including Mada al-Carmel, Ittijah and Adalah; the longest and most fruitful post was with Mada al-Carmel, which began as a four-month internship and developed into long-standing friendships and political alliances, with Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian named as friend and mentor (PDF p.15-16).
- Her stated method is to ground study of the Israeli incorporation regime within the standpoint and experiences of the excluded, namely the Palestinian-Arab citizenry, with active reference to research documented by organized segments of the Palestinian community (PDF p.16).
- The cover photograph of Wadi Nisnas graffiti in Haifa, taken October 06, 2012, is hers (PDF p.4, p.6).
- Academic supervisors Gerald Kernerman and Robert Latham are thanked, and the Preface is signed Haifa – December 2012 (PDF p.13, p.15).
