Long Abstract

The Israeli settler colonial project in Palestine is often described as an ongoing process of land theft, occurring at varying scales and speeds, ultimately leading to ethnic cleansing or genocide. While the explanatory power of this worldview is essential, it overlooks the long-standing, indigenous, ecological modes of survival, endurance and resistance. To map out these modes, it is an imperative to delve into embodied, feminist, vernacular knowledge, within the realm of political ecology, for the purposes decolonizing and healing.

To address this vital research scope, we seek to make central the Agrarian Question in Palestine. By examining three distinct, yet interconnected periods, in the modern history of Palestine, namely: ( 1948-1967), (1967-2002),( 2002-2023), Using decolonizing approaches in ethnography, oral history, and critical architecture, we aim to unravel grounds, venues, mobility (ies), rural-urban dynamics, which made our survival possible and continuous.
