Opis

Surveillance is always a means to an end, whether that end is influence, management or entitlement. This text examines the several layers of surveillance that control the Palestinian population in Israel and the occupied territories, showing how they operate, how well they work and how in the end their chief purpose is population control.

Recenzje

"This stimulating edited collection is a valuable contribution to the growing corpus of scholarship that takes Israel’s over forty-year occupation regime as its central object of analysis, research, and comparative theoretical reflection... this important volume provides a sound basis for further comparative studies in the technologies of power that are transforming the globe at this time." - Steve Niva; Journal of Palestine Studies, Vol. 41, No. 1 (Autumn 2011)
