Arab-Jewish Activism in Israel-Palestine

Applying the insights of Deleuze and Guattari's works to Israel-Palestine Arab-Jewish Activism in Israel-Palestine sets out to re-conceptualise the relationship between resistance and power in ethnically segregated spaces in general and the Israeli-Palestine context in particular. Combining many years of ethnographic study and political and social activism with a solid theoretical conceptual framework Marcelo Svirsky convincingly argues that successful efforts to decolonise the region depend on taking the struggle beyond self-determination and making it collaborative. Decolonisation depends on political and cultural changes that elaborate on the historical partition of social life in the region that have been an issue since the early twentieth century. This elaboration means producing a civil struggle aimed at the destabilisation of the Zionist supremacy and resulting in a democratic political community from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. Simply not just another book on Israel and Palestine Arab-Jewish Activism in Israel-Palestine provides refreshingly new empirical evidence and theoretical analysis on the connection between resistance intercultural alliances civil society and the potential for actualising shared sociabilities in a conflict-ridden society. An indispensable read to all scholars wishing to gain original insights into the transversal connections which transcend ethnicity.
