"Indigenous (In)justice is the first book to analyze the struggle of the Bedouin Arabs in Israel's Naqab/Negev region through the lens of indigeneity, and to link this struggle to the global mobilization of such minorities in settler societies. The book presents a range of multidisciplinary contributions - focusing on law, human rights, history, geography, and politics - each of which analyzes the Bedouins' struggle to attain their rights after decades of forced removals, discrimination, and dispossession. Indigenous (In)justice fills a void in the literature, which has largely overlooked the Bedouins' struggle to protect their land, identity, and autonomy as an important part of Palestinian mobilization and identity within Israel. Indigenous (In)justice examines the tensions that have been on the rise in response to the Israeli state's efforts to forcefully urbanize rural Bedouins and nationalize their lands. It offers an in-depth, contextualized account of the current struggle, with a view not only toward providing much-needed knowledge but also toward helping attain long-overdue indigenous justice"--Unedited summary from book cover.
