Irit Katz, The Common Camp: Architecture of Power and Resistance in Israel–Palestine – University of Minnesota Press, May 2022

Seeing the camp as a persistent political instrument in Israel–Palestine and beyond

Focusing on the geopolitical complexity of Israel–Palestine and the dramatic changes it has experienced during the past century, The Common Camp explores the region’s extensive networks of camps and their existence as both a tool of colonial power and a makeshift space of resistance. Bringing together a broad range of historical and ethnographic materials within the context of this singular yet versatile entity, the book locates the camp at the core of modern societies and how they change and transform.
