Facts on the Ground
''Facts on the Ground: Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society'' is a 2001 book by Nadia Abu El Haj based on her doctoral thesis for Duke University. The book has been praised by some scholars and criticised by others.
Controversy over the book intensified five years after its publication, after news emerged in 2006 that Abu El Haj was under consideration for tenure at Barnard College where she served as an assistant professor. Barnard alumnae mounted a campaign to deny tenure to Abu El Haj that centered on what they described as the book's anti-Israel bias, prompting a counter-campaign in support of the book and Abu El Haj.〔 The University ultimately granted Abu El Haj tenure in November 2007.

In the book, Abu El Haj uses anthropological methods to study the relationship between the development of scientific knowledge in Israeli archaeology and the construction of the social imaginations and political orders in the Israeli State and what she characterizes as the "formation and enactment of its colonial-national historical imagination and...the substantiation of its territorial claims".〔''Facts on the Ground'', p. 2.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Barnard College Department of Anthropology )〕 She argues that facts generated by archaeological practice have fashioned "cultural understandings, political possibilities and 'common-sense' assumptions".〔
In her introduction, Abu El Haj sympathetically cites critics who reject "a positivist commitment to scientific method whereby politics is seen to intervene only in instances of bad science," favoring various approaches such as "post-structuralism, philosophical critiques of foundationalism, Marxism and critical theory" with "a commitment to understanding archeology as necessarily political."〔''Facts on the Ground'', pp. 8-9.〕〔Jesse Walker, "The Case of Nadia Abu El Haj" http://reason.com/blog/2007/08/18/the-case-of-nadia-abu-el-haj〕
