  • Temporal dynamics of contested local government among the Bedouin in Israel

    Avinoam Meir, Erez Tzfadia et al.ARTICLETerritory Politics Governance2021Cited by: 1References: 15

    Research on Indigenous local government has been overlooking the temporal perspective, particularly concerning the dynamics of controlling local government. We submit that long-term tension between up- and down-scaling predilections of the state versus an Indigenous group may produce such dynamics of control. This process is explored among the Israeli Indigenous Bedouin from their pre-state semi-nomadism to present day semi-urbanism. The dynamics…

  • Janus-faced mobility, sense of road-as-place and Indigenous Bedouin-Jewish settlers relationships

    Avinoam Meir, Batya Roded et al.ARTICLESettler Colonial Studies2020

    As any other locality a road is a place with sense of road as place among people experiencing it. Roads in peripheral areas are a scarce social resource over which people compete. When a periphery is an internal ethnic frontier, competition between the local/Indigenous people and the settlers over accessibility/connectivity afforded by a road reflects not only hegemonic cultural and identity differences but also contradicting spatiality temporali…

  • Taming the road, tamed by the road: Sense of road as place among Indigenous Bedouin in an ethnic frontier in Israel

    Avinoam Meir, Arnon Ben Israel et al.ARTICLEMobilities2019

A road in this spatial context carries far greater meanings than elsewhere, particularly when also impacted by power relationships with the state. We reveal how Road 31 was/is subjectified by the Bedouin as a place prior to and after an upgrade. Initially they were able, through their Indigenous spati…

  • Between rights and denials: Bedouin indigeneity in the Negev/Naqab

    Open AccessOren Yiftachel, Batya Roded et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2016Cited by: 13References: 39

    The paper examines the nature of indigenous identity among Bedouin Arabs in Negev/Naqab, Israel, against a background of conceptual, legal and political controversy. It traces theoretically and comparatively the rise of indigeneity as a relational concept, deriving from colonial and postcolonial settings. The concept is shown to be part of the globalization of human rights struggle, with a potential of the indigeneity discourse to empower coloniz…
