Released against the backdrop of Israel's genocidal project in Gaza, Gutkowski's book reveals another kind of colonial violence in which the battleground is the farm plot; the army, bureaucrats and conservationists; and the enemy, the Palestinian agrarian.\"—Melissa Gatter, \u003ci\u003eArab Studies Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStruggling for Time \u003c\/i\u003e examines how time is used as a mechanism of control by the Israeli state and a site of mundane resistance among Palestinian agriculture professionals. 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\u003eTraveling 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\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e  Map of Fieldwork Sites in Israel\/Palestine\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  1.
