In this paper, I work to understand the articulation and embodiment of sovereignty by way of social reproduction for those living under settler colonialism and military occupation in Palestine. The current scholarship on social reproduction focuses on women’s roles regarding childbearing and caring for children and/or the community. However, a different means by which social reproduction influences life and politics is through cultural continuity/preservation in the face of dispossession and erasure. In this paper, I look at the ways in which women, through their everyday practices of survival, create a politics of life, through social reproduction. Anthropologist Didier Fassin was first to coin the term “politics of life” to refer to an understanding of politics not from the outside (i.e. the state or institutions), but from the inside and “in the flesh of the everyday experience[s]” (Fassin, 2009, 57). Recently, anthropologist Ilana Feldman expanded on Fassin’s work by using humanitarianism as a site since most of its actors claim to act outside of formal politics (2018). In this paper, I expand on Fassin and Feldman’s work by focusing on social reproduction as a gendered politics of life, a politics that seeks to understand how ordinary women operate within their everyday lives and unintentionally “act politically” (Feldman, 2018, 4). I argue that this politics of life is an embodiment of a sovereignty not bound by borders and governments. Furthermore, that women’s work with Palestinian embroidery is a gendered politics of life and an articulation and embodiment of indigenous Palestinian sovereignty. I use ethnographic research and interviews of Palestinian women who currently embroider and sell their products in historic Palestine and abroad. I have discovered that these women are embroidering the very cultural materials that hold up a nation and a fragmented people and it is in this way that they articulate sovereignty. The women who embroider the pieces that carry Palestine all over the world would not be considered politically active since they are unseen, their work is done in silence and at home, but their work is the backbone of Palestinian culture and heritage. Embroidery serves as material expression of Palestinian experience, history, and identity. Embroidery serves multiple purposes: a source of economic self-sustenance, creates an invisible (ironically through vibrant and colorful materials) historical and cultural connection shared by Palestinians across the world, and enables cultural preservation and cultural continuity in the face of erasure, fragmentation, and dispossession.
