Description: Men of Capital reveals how Palestinian businessmen and British colonial officials used economy to shape territory, the nation, the home, and the body.
Review Quotes: "Men of Capital is a remarkable achievement. Sherene Seikaly introduces us to the class of Palestinian capitalists, a group too often overlooked in histories of Palestine and Israel, and brilliantly puts them into the context of their time, exploring their group consciousness, hopes, and aspirations. Examining their failures to break through the iron ceiling of Britain's colonial commitment to the Zionist project, Seikaly offers a powerful critique of the strait-jacket of settler colonialism."--Rashid Khalidi, Columbia University
