Why Palestinians resist—a vital intervention in global movements resisting state violence, settler colonialism, and the erasure of Indigenous life Ali shines a light on a neglected front of Palestinian resistance—the lives and struggles of Palestinians inside the Israeli state. While global attention focuses on Gaza and the West Bank, Dr. Nijmeh Ali centres third-generation Palestinian citizens of Israel, activists who refuse erasure from within the heart of the settler-colonial system. Through intimate interviews and grounded theory, Ali redefines Sumud as a radical everyday practice of survival, dissent, and political clarity. These accounts reveal how Palestinians navigate surveillance, censorship, apartheid policies, and internal fragmentation while still claiming space, history, and voice. More than a book about Palestine, Decolonising the Everyday is a vital intervention in global movements resisting state violence, settler colonialism, and the erasure of Indigenous life—written with the urgency and insight of a leading scholar-activist.
