Abstract
This paper focuses on the daily practices of Palestinians to resist
the advancement of the Zionist settler colonial project of elimination
in the Jordan Valley, Palestine. The analysis attempts to
unfold the continuities and transformations of sumud throughout
generations by examining the role of internal and external dynamics
in shaping the modes of local everyday resistance. Placing Jordan
Valley Palestinian youth, farmers, shepherds and activists interviewed
at the core of the production of knowledge, this dissertation
underlines the role of the multiform resistance of peasants
in countering the advancement of colonisation in rural Palestine.
