Stone Men records the lives and labor of Palestinian workers in the West Bank ‘s all-important stone industry and charts their indispensable contribution to the design and construction of the region’s built environment. In response to the question Who Built Israel?, the book looks into the historical record and finds that Palestinians have always been at the center of the construction workforce, despite efforts, over the decades, to replace them. What rights, in the form of political sweat equity, should accrue to this workforce?
Waste Siege offers an analysis unusual in the study of Palestine: it depicts the environmental, infrastructural, and aesthetic context in which Palestinians are obliged to forge their lives.
