This chapter describes Amal’s early life stories amid the upheaval and contentious political climate of the Intifada Period. Here, we discuss her experiences and resistance to living in paternal society and under the oppression of the state of Israel as a Palestinian girl. It then describes her elementary and university education, marriage to Anwar, the birth of her children, and negotiations between work and family life. In all, this chapter argues that Amal’s national political consciousness and activism(s) as a young Bedouin woman during the Intifada years should be understood as an embodied expression of everyday sumud. In particular, her early engagements with national Palestinian politics, public protests, and connections to Palestinian nationalism all constitute acts of everyday resistance that both challenge and transcend the spatial and political limitations imposed on her by the state of Israel and discriminatory treatment of girls in her Bedouin society.
