Recenzje

'Offering a valuable critical perspective on the relationships between privatisation processes and the production of settler-colonial space in Israel, this book, which is based on a rich and original empirical study, argues that privatisation of settlement development, the production of the built environment and the erection of infrastructure such as the Trans‐ Israel Highway large projects goes beyond Israel's economic growth, rather is a complementary tool of geopolitical expansion. Importantly, the book focusses on an overlooked territorial unit, namely the frontier with the occupied West‐Bank. This book is a must-read as in offers a productive lens to understand the territorial reality, spatial politics and social fragmentation of Israel while engaging with critical theory.'
