One of the first books to explore political economy, class, state, and social relations in the contemporary West Bank. It is a materialist ethnography of social change, centered on projects to build large-scale, private housing development. It demonstrates how private firms, international aid organizations, and the Palestinian government in the West Bank reoriented Palestine away from national politics towards state-scale economic stability and market building.

Liberation psychology challenges traditional Western based psychology by offering an emancipatory approach to understanding and addressing oppression among individuals and groups. This book provides an understanding of liberation psychology that enhances the work of all students, researchers, and practitioners in psychology by raising awareness of discrimination, inequality, and issues related to intersectionality; affirming cultural identities; fighting oppression; and promoting social change to help alleviate human suffering and support fairness, equality, and justice.
