'The essays in this volume incisively and insightfully explore key dimensions of the status of the Palestinian minority in Israel, a state which structurally privileges its Jewish majority. Anyone interested in a fuller understanding of the collective experience of Palestinians in Israel, and the means by which they have been subordinated and relegated to second-class citizenship, will find Israel and its Palestinian Citizens very useful.' Zachary Lockman, New York University
