Reviews
"""Nevertheless, there is much of value in this book beyond the specific case of Nablus, especially where the author focuses on acts of what she calls “spatial resistance,” including movements of symbolic return to destroyed and depopulated villages in historic Palestine and the deployment of “counter-knowledge” to subvert the Israeli regime of surveillance and control. Notably, she also discusses the “re-coloni□□ing movement” of Bab al-Shams, when for a few months in the winter and spring of 2013, several tent “villages” were erected by Palestinian and international activists on lands marked for confiscation and the building of Israeli colonies, particularly in the Jordan Valley. The author sees great potential for this form of “rhizomatic resistance” (following Deleuze and Guattari) that she sees echoed in the 2011 Egyptian uprising, the Indignado movement in Spain, and the various Occupy protests in the US.""
