Molavi, Shourideh C., Stateless Citizenship. The Palestinian-Arab Citizens of Israel, Chicago, Haymarket Books, 2014.

In this provocative and compelling work Shourideh Molavi documents the legal plight of Palestinians living inside of Israel.

Palestinians living inside of Israel are placed in a paradoxical situation where, as Arab citizens of a Jewish state, they are both inside and outside, host and guest, citizen and stateless. Through the paradigm of stateless citizenship Molavi centers our analytical gaze on the paradox that it is through their status as Israeli citizens that Palestinians are deemed stateless.

Shourideh C. Molavi is a writer and Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at York University in Toronto, Canada. For the past ten years she has written on and worked with numerous civil society groups of the divided Palestinian community in Gaza City, Nablus, Jerusalem, Haifa, Ramallah and Bethlehem. Much of this work has been with the Palestinian citizens of Israel and Haifa-based NGOs, including Mada al Carmel: Arab Center for Applied Social Research
