Reviews

a This book makes a significant contribution to the study of Israeli occupation and its economic, social and political implications in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The multi-disciplinary group of contributors, including anthropologists, economists, geographers and political scientists, critically analyse and theoretically conceptualize the geopolitical conditions in the West Bank and Gaza over the past two decades, highlighting the colonial nature of Israeli politics on one hand and the Palestinian response to it on the other. This carefully-edited volume, which has great relevance to the current events in Israel\Palestine, is an important, detailed study which will serve scholars, students and those who are interested in the politics of the region.a (TM) Haim Yacobi, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel a Through an interdisciplinary approach, the authors of this thought-provoking book contribute to counter the usual stereotypes about the wall in Palestine/Israel and unveil the multiplicity of surveillance mechanisms at work in the Occupied Territories. Besides being a welcome addition to the knowledge on new forms of borders, but also of cooperation as well, the book sheds light on two societies forged together by the logic of the military occupation.a (TM) Riccardo Bocco, Graduate Institute, Switzerland
