Recenzii

'In this highly original book filled with riveting detail and sophisticated theoretical engagement, Frances Hasso leads us down new paths, raising questions about missing bodies, gendered subjectivities, racial policies, and the nature of politics in Palestine. Drawing on unique oral histories of women who faced childbirth and loss, Buried in the Red Dirt shows how intimate stories of sexuality and reproduction are central to understanding the lived experience of the mandate period and after. Her ethnographic approach to archives brings a fresh sensibility, as she convincingly demonstrates that women's reproductive choices have been based on the futures envisioned or feared for their unborn offspring rather than on nationalist discourses.' Beth Baron, City University of New York
'Exploring the connections between race, reproduction and death in modern Palestine, Frances Hasso sheds new light on the relations between settler colonialism, politics of public health and hygiene, trauma, forced exile, race, migration, birth and death. Her analysis of who is encouraged to give birth and who is not in a colonial situation and of Zionist and Western anxieties around birth rates ends with an illuminating exploration of death and futurity in Palestinian literature and film. This book is indispensable for all those interested in anti-reproductive desire as resistance in settler-colonial situations.' Françoise Vergès, author of A Decolonial Feminism
