Natalia Gutkowski unpacks power structures to show how a settler society lays moral claim on indigenous time through agrarian environmental policies, science, technologies, landscapes, and bureaucracy. Shifting the analysis of Israel\/Palestine from land and space to time, she offers new insight into the operation of power in agrarian environments and develops a contemporary framework to understand land and resource grabs under temporal justifications. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraveling across both policymaking arenas and Palestinian citizens' agrarian fields, Gutkowski follows the multiple ways that state officials, agronomists, planners, environmentalists, and agriculturalists use time as a tool of collective agency. Through investigations of wetland drainage in Galilee, transformations in olive agriculture, sustainable agrarian development, and regulation of the \u003ci\u003eshmita\u003c\/i\u003e biblical commandment, the \"year of release\" for agricultural fields, this work highlights how Palestinian citizens' agriculture has become a site for the state to settle and mediate time conflicts to justify its existence. As \u003ci\u003eStruggling for Time\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates, time politics will take on ever greater urgency as societies and governments plan for an uncertain future in our era of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41659629600865,"sku":"9781503636828","price":110.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28643425.jpg?v=1722763107","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781503636828-struggling-for-time","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
