Abstract: This article examines the daily practices of Palestinian workers within the settler economy as forms of resistance that penetrate and undermine settler-colonial domination. While existing scholarship emphasises systematic Israeli violations against Palestinian labour, it often neglects the power of workers to develop everyday resistance practices. By centring labour as a site of daily struggle and drawing on nine semi-structured interviews with Palestinian workers in the settler economy, the article offers new insights into lived experience under settler colonialism and argues that workers’ everyday practices penetrate settler sovereignty, producing an intertwined form of sovereignty that challenges colonial domination over the land.
