Crossing a Line: Laws, Violence and Roadblocks to Political Expression (Stanford, 2022) looks to sites of political practice—journalism, historical commemorations, street demonstrations, social media, in prison, and on the road—to analyze how Palestinians create collectivities in circumstances of constraint. Drawing on firsthand research, personal interviews, and public media, Crossing a Line illuminates how expression is always grounded in place—and how a people can struggle together for liberation even when they cannot join together in protest.
