II. Segmentations of the Working Class by Differential Locations in the
Social Formation
in the previous chapter we tried to identify the class location of the
Palestinian labor force currently employed in Israel. We did so by trans-
lating locations in the technical division of labor into locations in the
social: division of labor. We defined the boundaries of the working class
using Poulantzas' criteria. Accordingly, only those who perform productive,
manual, non-supervisory labor categories belonged to the working class. By
these criteria only positions in the division of labor were considered.
But as debated earlier, class locations are determined not only by loca~
tions in the division of labor, alone. They are determined also by rela-
tions of political/ideological domination/subordination inherent in posi-
tions in the social formation as a whole. This is what Poulantzas refers
to as "structural determination of class location" (recall preceding argu-
ments in Chapter I).
In the previous chapter, we argued that locations in the technical
division of labor are determined by locations in the social division of
labor. In the present analysis, we argue that locations in the social di-
vision of labor are, to a large extent, reproduced by positions in the
social formation as a whole.
This so-called "structural criterion for determination of class loca-
tion" is especially relevant in the case of settler colonialism, where a
relation of settlers' domination and natives' subordination usually prevails
and is generalized across class lines.
Our study is concerned only with cross-national/ethnic proletarian
alliances (not with alliances on other class lines, say petty bourgeois or - تاريخ
