This dissertation is concerned with the political culture of Palestinian Israelis--Palestinians who are citizens of Israel. Through ethnographic and literary analysis, it explores the interlocking of local, state and global processes and the ways in which Palestinians move between disparate discourses of authority and protest. Although Palestinian Israelis have been officially considered to be an ethnic minority within the state, this population has increasingly attempted to redefine itself as a national minority with historic ties to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. As well, they have resisted encapsulation in "local" identities of clan and sect, demanding instead full inclusion in Israeli political and economic structures. Using the early years of the usdintif\bar adausd as a backdrop, I examine the simultaneous significance of the nationalist political party and the 'patrilineal clan' (usdham\bar ulausd) and the meaning of their co-existence for political organization. I situate this analysis within the larger context of Israeli and Palestinian political economies of information where the power of state surveillance intersects with local modes of creating knowledge. Relating these processes to the representation of the nation in ritual and texts, I show how the elaboration of a national identity is intertwined with Palestinian critiques of kinship and gender orderings. I also show the way in which the moral authority of the uprising derives simultaneously from a transnational discourse on the right to self-determination and from the testimony of the blood of the martyrs. Through analysis of wedding songs and the work of the Nazarene poet Sa'ud Al-Asadi I explore the deployment of language as a game of truth that is always variable and uncertain and show how the contested field of poetry relates to the contested field of political discourse. Developing a theoretical framework to account for the fluidity of these fields, I reinterpret Bourdieu's concept of the habitus and argue that practice does not imply the unconscious workings of a thoroughly incorporated disposition, but rather an interplay of the taken for granted and a recognition of agency. Consciousness, I propose, is at once constituted and left indeterminate at an intersection of discourses.
