Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When do words and actions empower When do they betray Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this volume tracks the repercussions of advocacy activism against house demolitions in 'unrecognised' Arab-Bedouin villages in Israel's southern 'internal frontier'. It highlights the repercussions of activism for victims, fund-raisers and activists. The ethnographic episodes show how humanitarian aid intervention and indigenous identity politics can turn into a double-edged sword. Ironically, institutional lobbying for coexistence and its interpretative categories can sometimes perpetuate different forms of subjugation. The volume also shows how, beyond the institutional lobbying, novel figures of activism emerge: informal networks create non-sectarian, cross-cutting countercultures and rethink human-environment relationships. These experimental political subjects redefine the categories of the conflict and elude the logic of zero-sum games; they point towards a shifting paradigm in current ethnopolitics. Koensler outlines an ethnographic approach for the study of social movements that follows multiple relations around mobilisations rather than studying activism in itself. This perspective thus becomes relevant for scholars and activists engaged with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and those interested in global rights discourses.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Inspiring and hopeful discussion of how we can live together in a world that is both deeply divided and undeniably shared.In a region divided by violence, walls, fences, and checkpoints, Voices of Reason analyzes critically cross-boundary initiatives that seek to affirm their own reason in the land between the river and the sea. Based on fieldwork with solidarity and human rights activists in southern Israel and its Israeli-Palestinian borderlands, conducted over the span of two decades, author Alexander Koensler traverses competing moral and political orders. While violence and war and dichotomic interpretive lenses dominate the headlines, relatively little is known about everyday life across borders or peace activism in Israeli society. Precisely for this reason it is equally important to understand more complex dynamics, those aspects that remain often overshadowed but bear a potential for change. With his call to disentangle the separatist imagination, Koensler engages the notion of polyphony to offer novel ways to move beyond zero-sum assumptions in conflicts and hardening community boundaries everywhere, giving the reader an uplifting sense of how we can live together in a world that is both deeply divided and yet undeniably shared.…
