RESISTANCE IN DAILY LIFE
|
January 2008
Toine van Teeffelen and Fuad
Giacaman

find powerful expression in symbols. Gaining
a central place in Palestinian political
discourse during the 1970s, the symbol of
sumud (steadfastness, persistence,
endurance)
points to two

that can be
ubiquitously
found among
Palestinians in
Palestine and
elsewhere
