“The first in-depth ethnographic research on debt formation in the contemporary Palestinian context, this groundbreaking work proposes a host of new ways for social geographers to rethink debt at multiple scales. Spacing Debt ambitiously engages theoretical debates across a wide array of disciplinary approaches and effectively links it with fascinating and carefully treated ethnographic cases and interview materials.” - Deborah James, author of (Money from Nothing: Indebtedness and Aspiration in South Africa) “This is the first sustained treatment of the everyday lives of debt in the Palestinian context based on in-depth fieldwork and long-term engagement with the communities under study. Theoretically innovative and ethnographically rich, this groundbreaking study offers much-needed sociological insight into Palestine's neoliberal debt regime, while showing how Palestine as 'colonial exception' is a rich site to theorize social geographies of debt.” - Rema Hammami, Birzeit University “Spacing Debt is an essential read for scholars of debt and finance, and for those interested in modes of theory-building that start from the ways in which people live and choose to narrate their lives.... Thinking of debt as endurance helps us see people living with debt as active agents."- Enora Robin (International Journal of Urban and Regional Research) “Spacing Debt is a thorough and important book that will serve as a refer­ence on the livelihood of urban Palestinians for years to come. Ethnographically grounded and theoretically ambitious, the book offers an interesting read on courses in economic sociology, global develop­ment, and the like.” - Lotte Segal (Middle East Journal)
