Challenging dominant approaches in peacebuilding, humanitarianism, and international development, Shwaikh explores the politics of survival, the co-optation of the Palestinian concept of \u003cem\u003esumud\u003c\/em\u003e (steadfastness), and the emotional demands placed on people living through violence.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAgainst Resilience\u003c\/em\u003e calls for a radical reimagining of responses to injustice—one grounded not in endless endurance but in justice, dignity, collective care, and the right to resist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49278716969215,"sku":"9780745353661","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780745353661","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
