This book explores the way urbicide is used to un/re-make the Palestinian territoriality/urbanity as well as a tool of spatial dispossession and control. It also examines contemporary political violence and destruction in the context of colonial projects in the Middle East. The book demonstrates how the dilution or negation of the Israeli politics of control, surveillance and destruction in the occupied Palestinian Territories potentially produce other modes of Palestinian resistance throughout the every day tactics, commemoration and reconstruction projects.
Exploring the way urbicide is used to un/re-make Palestine, as well as how it is employed as a tool of spatial dispossession and control, this book examines contemporary political violence and destruction in the context of colonial projects in Palestine.
The broader framework of the book is colonial and post- urban destruction urbanism; with a working hypothesis that there are links, gaps and blind spots in the understanding of urbicide discourse. Drawing on several examples from the Palestinian history of destruction and transformations, such as; Jenin Refugee Camp, Hebron Old Town, and Nablus Old Town, a methodological framework to identify urbicidal episodes is also generated.
Advancing knowledge on one historical moment of the urban condition, the moment of its destruction, and enhancing the understanding of the Palestinian Israeli conflict from urbanistic/ architectonic and Urbicide / Spacio-cide perspectives through the use of case studies, this book will be essential reading for scholars and researchers with an interest in Urban Geography and Middle East Politics more broadly.
