Book by Amahl A. Bishara examines how Israeli law, bureaucratic restrictions, and physical barriers combine to suppress Palestinian political expression amongst Palestinians in the West Bank and Palestinian citizens of Israel—two segments of the Palestinian people living on opposits sides of the "green line," physically fragmented from one another due to Israel's controls, but express belonging to a shared national liberation project. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and legal analysis, Bishara shows how roadblocks, permit systems, and military orders constrain not just movement, but also speech, assembly, and cultural life under occupation. Recommended for legal researchers, political scientists, and advocates studying Israeli military restrictions on Palestinian political expression, freedom of assembly, and civil life under occupation in the West Bank.
