Abstract

When Israel controls bureaucracies, practices and even discourses, are we able to talk about citizenship? When the “donor community” is actively engaged in shaping political and economic developments as well as asserting political preferences through the mechanism of aid, how are concerns voiced freely? The construction of new terrains, new spaces and “states of exceptions” with stateless citizens, or citizens without citizenship who interact daily with, and make claims upon, and even clash with their own leadership- requires a serious examination of “citizenship”. How do we talk about citizenship as Palestinian women in Israel? This report takes the form of PowerPoint slides.
