Description
Book SynopsisPresents the history of Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Looking at a wide range of topics, from control of water and electricity to health care and education and surveillance and torture, this title reveals a fundamental shift from a politics of life to a macabre politics characterized by an increasing number of deaths.
Trade Review"What is most interesting in Gordon's analysis is the way in which the renovation of occupation practices are identified as an immanent outcome of the 'excesses and contradictions' within the system itself." Times Higher Education "Israel's Occupation becomes a must read on my list; and my first question of anyone that wants to argue with any perspectives on Israel would be 'Have you read this book yet?'" Palestine Chronicle "A must read." -- Jim Miles Opednews.com "This book is a significant contribution to our understanding Israel's changing methods of rule during the four decades of occupation." Middle East Journal "A unique perspective on the changing dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict... The breadth and detail of Gordon's scope provides a powerful systemic framework." -- Katya Nasim Socialist Review: Monthly Mag Of The Socialist Workers Party
