""Plots and Deeds reconceptualizes land justice from the ground up, elucidating the multifaceted ways that Palestinian farmers in the West Bank enact agrarian self-rule despite settler colonial dispossession. With a political economic lens, and engagements with environmental anthropology and Indigenous studies, this book transforms Palestine studies and agrarian studies."" --Amahl Bishara, Tufts University ""A remarkably honest, thoughtful, and conceptually transformative analysis of peasants and land that bridges the fields of Palestinian and global agrarian studies. Historically informed, ethnographically robust, and gracefully written, Paul Kohlbry's Plots and Deeds is a must read for understanding the contradictions and potential futures of land justice in Palestine and beyond."" --Beshara Doumani, Brown University ""With ethnographic eloquence, Plots and Deeds provides a ground-up understanding of how Palestinian peasants work to ensure the viability, value, and future of land in the face of efforts to annihilate it. This is the work of land justice--a concept and method with which Paul Kohlbry reinvigorates anthropological approaches to agrarian life and labor."" --Sarah Besky, Cornell University
