FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Professor Julie Peteet believes that the concept of mobility is key to understanding how place and space act as forms of power, identity, and meaning among Palestinians in Israel today. In Space and Mobility in Palestine, she investigates how Israeli policies of closure and separation influence Palestinian concerns about constructing identity, the ability to give meaning to place, and how Palestinians comprehend, experience, narrate, and respond to Israeli settler-colonialism. Peteets work sheds new light on everyday life in the Occupied Territories and helps explain why regional peace may be difficult to achieve in the foreseeable future. Author Biography Julie Peteet is Professor of Anthropology at University of Louisville.

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 * Review Quote " 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.

She explores the use of enclosure, entrapment, and separation as a distinct form of colonial control in the Palestinian West Bank and provides some telling examples of how Palestinians attempt to live within and through these restrictions."--Tobias Kelly, author of Law, Violence, and Sovereignty among West Bank Palestinians Details ISBN0253024935 Author Julie Peteet Short Title SPACE & MOBILITY IN PALESTINE Publisher Indiana University Press Series Public Cultures of the Middle East and North Africa Language English ISBN-10 0253024935 ISBN-13 9780253024930 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2017 Imprint Indiana University Press Place of Publication Bloomington, IN Country of Publication United States Publication Date 2017-01-15 UK Release Date 2017-01-15 AU Release Date 2017-01-15 NZ Release Date 2017-01-15 US Release Date 2017-01-15 Illustrations 12 Illustrations, black and white Pages 252 Alternative 9780253024800 DEWEY 306.095694 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
