Deftly weaving Jewish Israeli tourist practices into the wake of the Oslo Process, Rebecca L. Stein demonstrates how political orders sediment into personal tastes, social identities, and regional desires. By showing how drinking coffee might be an act of peace or a theater of war, this book marks an ambitious new itinerary for the study of consumption, tourism, and nationalism.”—\u003cb\u003eElizabeth A.

In this lyrical study, Rebecca L. Stein dissects the histories, economic realities, and state practices underlying Israeli tourism into Palestinian areas. She evokes the political longings that animate such tourism while never forgetting the dense histories of power that structure its logics. Impressive in its originality, Stein’s riveting challenge to simplistic assumptions about Israeli and Palestinian politics is ultimately an incitement to hope.”—\u003cb\u003eMelani McAlister\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eEpic Encounters: Culture, Media, and U.S. Interests in the Middle East, 1945–2000\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An enormously important book. While Rebecca L. Stein’s work contributes to a growing literature on the technologies and discourses of Zionist domination, both historical and contemporary, it stands out for its brilliant and subtle account of the post-Oslo construction of the Israeli Jewish ‘desire for the Arab.’ Her analysis of the making of Palestinian people, spaces, and activities into sites of Jewish tourism is careful, compelling, and disturbing.”—\u003cb\u003eWendy Brown\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eRegulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Itineraries and Intelligibilities 1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
