- Summary:
- Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Popular Culture rethinks the conventional parameters of Middle East studies through attention to the relationships between popular culture and regional political processes. The volume has a broad historical scope, ranging from the late Ottoman period to the second Palestinian uprising, with a focus on cultural production within the region and its diasporas, across borders and checkpoints, and within the global marketplace. In this important collection, anthropologists, historians, sociologists, political scientists, ethnomusicologists, and literary critics reinsert popular culture into Middle East histories, suggesting new ways of conceptualizing Palestinian and Israeli politics.
