Book by Julie Peteet analyzes how Israeli military and bureaucratic control over space and movement in the West Bank structures Palestinian everyday life, social organization, and political identity. Peteet examines checkpoints, the separation wall, settlement enclaves, and bypass roads as technologies of spatial control that fragment Palestinian territory and discipline Palestinian bodies. Essential for anthropologists, geographers, and researchers studying Palestinian movement restrictions, checkpoint systems, and the everyday experience of Israeli spatial control in the West Bank.
