Arpan Roy presents an ethnographic portrait of Dom Romani communities living between Palestine and Jordan, zooming in on everyday life in working-class neighborhoods, and under conditions of perpetual war and instability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on how Doms are able to sustain ethnic difference through kinship, even when public performances of difference are no longer emphasized – a kind of alterity that is neither visible by obvious markers like race or religious difference, nor detected by the antennas of the state. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Amman, Roy makes a case for such alterity for Romani people and other groups in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysing intimate ethnographic scenes through anthropological theories of kinship, psychoanalysis, social theory from the Global South, and more, the book reveals how alterity in the Middle East does not adhere to rigid identitarian categories. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eRelative Strangers\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the inadequacy of transposing models of pluralism centred on European and American experiences of minoritization onto other contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on the Text\u003cbr\u003eMaps\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
