Natalia Gutkowski unpacks power structures to show how a settler society lays moral claim on indigenous time through agrarian environmental policies, science, technologies, landscapes, and bureaucracy. Shifting the analysis of Israel\/Palestine from land and space to time, she offers new insight into the operation of power in agrarian environments and develops a contemporary framework to understand land and resource grabs under temporal justifications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Traveling across both policymaking arenas and Palestinian citizens' agrarian fields, Gutkowski follows the multiple ways that state officials, agronomists, planners, environmentalists, and agriculturalists use time as a tool of collective agency. Through investigations of wetland drainage in Galilee, transformations in olive agriculture, sustainable agrarian development, and regulation of the \u003ci\u003eshmita\u003c\/i\u003e biblical commandment, the \"year of release\" for agricultural fields, this work highlights how Palestinian citizens' agriculture has become a site for the state to settle and mediate time conflicts to justify its existence. As \u003ci\u003eStruggling for Time\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates, time politics will take on ever greater urgency as societies and governments plan for an uncertain future in our era of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natalia Gutkowski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960099377270,"sku":"9781503637726","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/struggling-for-time-9781503637726","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
