Abstract "A political theorist's reading of works by three older Palestinian political voices reveals the people as both a powerful critique of Western political categories and as specters of its failure. By continually asserting themselves as embodied human presences, Palestinians defy that spectrality and a politics that denies human dignity"-- Provided by publisher.
