'In this important edited volume, two pioneering figures in Social Reproduction Theory, Tithi Bhattacharya and Sue Ferguson, extend their framework beyond the working-class struggle for life in advanced capitalist societies, accounting for the specificity of settler-colonial capitalism. The essays they have assembled here urgently address the contemporary case study of Palestine in the horrific era of the Gaza genocide. They reveal the intensity of the battle between the exterminationist death-making force of Israeli colonialism and the Palestinian determination to produce and sustain a flourishing and liberated collective life' -- Abdel Razzaq Takriti, Palestinian Historian and Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair in Arab Studies, Rice University

Palestinians continue to teach us life, as they have done for over 75 years. They show us that affirming life against capital’s death drive and settler colonialism in the midst of unspeakable atrocity is the only way forward. Everyone should read this book!' -- Sara Farris, Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London
