Decolonising the Everyday

Palestinian Activism in Israel and the Politics of Sumud
Why Palestinians resist-and why they will never stop.
While global attention focuses on Gaza and the West Bank, Dr. Nijmeh Ali centres third-generation Palestinian citizens of Israel, activists who refuse erasure from within the heart of the settler-colonial system.
Through intimate interviews and grounded theory, Ali redefines Sumud as a radical everyday practice of survival, dissent, and political clarity. This book blows open the myth that resistance ends at the checkpoint. It shows us the young Palestinian activists inside Israel-citizens by law-who are redefining what it means to resist
from within a settler state. These are the voices we have not heard, not because they are
silent, but because they have been silenced.

Whether you are a student, academic, journalist, policymaker, or activist, this book offers bold
new insights into a community that challenges every liberal assumption about citizenship,
identity, and belonging. It introduces Sumud-not as cultural endurance, but as radical political
strategy-and invites readers into the daily negotiations of those refusing to disappear.
