There are a few forms of evidence that carry the same quiet authority as DNA. It does not speak in the way a witness speaks. It does not argue, justify, or persuade. It exists, silently, within the smallest traces of human presence. A fragment left behind on fabric, a few skin cells on a surface, a drop of blood no larger than a pinhead. Yet within that trace lies something extraordinary. Identity. Not suggested, not inferred, but written into the structure of life itself. For centuries, the pursuit of justice relied on what could be seen, heard, and interpreted.

Justice for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures—from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza—Noura Erakat shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions.
