Abstract
PALESTINIAN SOCIAL ACTIVISTS in Haifa, Israel traffic in global discourses of development, civil rights, and democracy. While their organizations provide services to local Palestinian communities, they are also vehicles through which to assert activist notions of Palestinian modernity and cultural authenticity based on a dual critique of traditionalism and Westernization. Social activists are cosmopolitan in that they transverse multiple places and multiple discourses. Within these ideological and spatial voyages, activists vie for control not only over the meaning of global and local discourses of democracy, but its form and execution. [Democracy, modernity, organizations, Palestinians, Haifa]
