Summary

1. Taraki (sociology, Birzeit U., occupied Palestinian West Bank) and her colleagues analyze the data collected by a summer 1999 survey of some two thousand households in nineteen Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza, primarily concerned with the dynamics and modalities of social reproduction at the household level, although obviously the politics of occupation looms large in the lives of households. Together, the five papers address questions of urban modernity and identity formation; dynamics of extended kinship and national identity; survival and mobility strategies and choices in times of crisis; emigration, conservatism, and class formation; and the role of women's work in coping and family survival.
