- This book is the first anthropological study of the lives of prisoners’ families in Palestine, based on 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork between 2005 and 2011 with kin of Palestinian prisoners, martyrs, and the therapists working to ameliorate the effects of political violence. The fieldwork demanded a high level of ethical sensitivity because many research participants were survivors of trauma living with political violence. The contentious topic of the conflict between Israel and Palestine demanded writing in a new genre and the book henceforth exemplifies an alternative way of doing political ethnography anchored in gender, sensitive issues and research ethics.
