"Informal networks are an elusive and hidden factor in every society. In the Middle
East, the Arab Spring recently highlighted their power and scope from Iraq to Morocco,
exposing how family and clan networks wield influence behind institutional facades.
While many studies of Middle Eastern societies solely analyse formal structures and
official governing bodies, this book illuminates longstanding informal social systems
by examining the sociopolitical history of the Palestinian highlands, known from 1950
as the West Bank. By studying family-based networks in cities like Jerusalem, Nablus
and Hebron, Harel Chorev-Halewa shows how their influence has receded more slowly
and less dramatically in recent generations than is commonly believed. He also connects
individual elite families to the broader landscape of informal networks, comprising
inter-familial alliances, collective economic systems, Sufi orders and customary law
- all of which make up the unseen 'familial order.' Unfolding chronologically, this
book spans a period of immense change from the Late Ottoman period to the present
day, asking: How did Palestinian informal networks adapt to new realities?Why and
how did they endure? And what does this say about modern Palestinian national politics
in particular, and Arab societies in general? Offering an original and innovative
look at informal networks in Palestine, this study is of crucial importance to scholars
of Middle East studies, Palestine studies, political science and anthropology."--Bloomsbury
