ABSTRACT
Geography – as a discipline, study, interest, practice and profession – has been defined as what geographers choose to do or not to do (Falah, 1994, 9; Kirby, 1992, 236). This definition helps to interpret how a small group of Palestinian scholars have created space within the international community of geographers to plant the seeds of a non- or anti-hegemonic discourse. This chapter begins with anecdotal snapshots illustrating this creation of space and nurturing of ideas amidst what was not always a uniformly hospitable environment.
