Palestinian hunger strikers in the Israeli settler-colonial and carceral system...
Daniele, G.; Borralho, J. P.This article analyses the interconnection of the resistance practice of hunger striking inside Israeli colonial prisons and forms of solidarity in support of Palestinian political prisoners, both local and transnational.

Intersectional politics and citizen activism: An Israeli Mizrahi feminist lens
Daniele, G.This article aims to rethink intersectional sites of solidarity carried out by coalitions of heterogeneous groups coming up from the margins of society. From this standpoint, I analyse intersectional politics through practices and processes led by feminist and other social justice grassroots activists together with citizen activists, that have helped give rise to political visibility of marginalised communities...
The refugee debate in Palestine/Israel: An ongoing narrative of struggles from ...
Daniele, G.Since 1948, with the establishment of the state of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba (Catastrophe), the refugee question has become one of the major issues debated not only in historical Palestine, but in many other countries across the world. Throughout its history, the Jewish state has been characterised by successive waves of refugees, each with their own struggles and demands. Accordingly, this chapter aims ...
Introduction
Ramos, M. J.; Neto, P.; Daniele, G.As it so often happens in academic publishing and in life, the aim of this book is manyfold. As it may be guessed by its subtitle, it addresses the variety of institutional and non-institutional responses to the contemporary movement of people from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, to, within and out of Europe. As it was mainly conceived, written, and edited in what today seems a distant past – that of the pre...

Afterword
Ramos, M. J.; Neto, P.; Daniele, G.To the reader who has reached the end of this admittedly heteroclite and fragmentary electronic book: As we have indicated in the Introduction, the chapters gathered and aligned here are a reflection, a window so to speak, of a multidisciplinary and multipronged approach to the (kaleidos) topic of migratory fluxes into, within, and out of Europe, and to the dialogic dynamic of bordering and border-crossing. We ...
Movimentos de mulheres na Palestina e em Israel: práticas, lutas e desafios int...
Daniele, G.Ao abordar a análise dos movimentos das mulheres palestinianas e israelitas é necessário, em primeiro lugar, salientar o contexto histórico, bem como o contexto sociopolítico no qual as mulheres ativistas construíram a sua política. As mulheres palestinianas continuam a viver dentro de uma nação apátrida, onde a luta liderada por um movimento de libertação nacional ocupou um lugar central nas suas realidades qu...
Mizrahi Jews and the Zionist settler colonial context: between inclusion and st...
Daniele, G.This article intends to analyse the ‘in-between' category of Mizrahi Jews within Israeli society. The main objective is to draw attention to how Israel’s Mizrahi majority has been part of the Zionist settler colonial system itself while, at the same time, it has been greatly marginalised from the mainstream Zionist discourse led by white Ashkenazi Jews. Theoretically founded on the interconnection of three majo...
Political and social protests from the margins: the role of Mizrahi Jews in Isr...

In detail, I analyse the involvement of social and political activists struggling to improve the rights of and in...
