Review Quotes:
"...the volume is distinctive in bringing together the historical and the contemporary, the dramatic and the mundane ... In their combination of empirical innovation and theoretical sophistication, these chapters ... and the volume as a whole, make an important contribution to the academic scholarship of and about the Palestinians" -- Review of Middle East Studies
"By intertwining the themes of ethnicity and gender, Displaced at Home breaks new ground, presenting a counter narrative to studies that posit the Palestinian citizens of Israel only as manipulated and victimised, as well as to Palestinian nationalist histories which present society as monolithic ... The fact that all twelve contributors ... are Palestinian women, citizens of Israel, gives their research an immediacy and authenticity that make the book engrossing as well as highly informative." -- Jordan Times
"Informative, insightful, and thought-provoking." -- Mary N. Layoun, author of Wedded to the Land? Gender, Boundaries, and Nationalism in Crisis
"This groundbreaking book helps to fill a huge gap in research on Palestinians in Israel." -- Amal Amireh, author of The Factory Girl and the Seamstress: Imagining Gender and Class in Nineteenth-Century American Fiction
