Description: Through the case study of Palestinian children, contributors theorize children's resistance as an embodied experience called lived resistance. With Lived Resistance against the War on Palestinian Children, the authors account for the vessel (i.e., the body in flesh and mind) through which such resistance generates and operates.

Review Quotes: This book makes significant original contributions to numerous intersecting fields. Though the scholarly community surrounding the study of Palestinian children, youth, and families may seem small, topics covered in this book address wider scholarly publics, including scholars in childhood and family studies, gender and women's studies, children's geographies, social movement studies, peace and conflict studies, and, of course, Palestine studies more broadly.--Sandy Marshall, a human geographer who works with migrant and refugee children and youth on issues related to conflict and humanitarian aid
