Dr. Clarice Harbon's groundbreaking book reformulates the concept of "invasion" from a criminal legal category to "affirmative resettlement", thereby placing the actions of Mizrahi women against eviction from their homes in an alternative framework of the struggle for equality. Corrective resettlement, anchored in the intensifying interdisciplinary research of Mizrahi studies, resolutely dismantles basic assumptions regarding public housing laws, while illustrating the research possibilities of the concept of intersectionality - of class, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality - for legal studies. The book also reflects the Mizrahi feminist activism of the author herself, as an inspiring lawyer which represented a possibility and placed these physical acts of resistance in their broad historical context.
