Space and Mobility in Palestine (Public Cultures of the Middle East and North Africa)

Descripción

Review Space and Mobility in Palestine is a welcome addition to the rich tradition of anthropological work on Palestine. (American Ethnologist)Read alongside works in cartography and history, this ethnography contributes to the anthropology of shrinking spaces, borders, checkpoints, militarization, and expropriation by documenting what it is like to live with major restrictions on mobility. (Anthropological Quarterly)[T]he book is the result of the work and reflections of a scholar who has worked with and written about Palestinians for over three decades. As such, it elaborates with great specificity on the theoretical contributions of thinkers like Foucault and Agamben, while providing new insights into the multifarious examples of contemporary settlercolonialism. (Anthropological Quarterly) Read more Review Peteet is one of the world's leading anthropologists of the Palestinian experience, and her new book is urgent and thought provoking.
