Contents:

Introduction : space and mobility in the time of closure -- "Permission to breathe" : closure and the wall -- Mobility : legibility, permits and roads -- Geography of anticipation and risk : checkpoints, filters and funnels -- Waiting and "stealing time" : closure's temporality -- Anti-colonial resistance in the time of closure.

Summary: 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 they comprehend, experience, narrate, and respond to Israeli settler-colonialism. Peteet's 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.
