Unfree in Palestine: Registration, Documentation and Movement Restriction by Nad

Description: Unfree in Palestine by Nadia Abu-Zahra, Adah Kay A masterful expose of the web of Israeli bureaucracy FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book reveals the role played by identity documents in Israels apartheid policies towards the Palestinians, from the red passes of the 1950s to the orange, green and blue passes of today.The authors chronicle how millions of Palestinians have been denationalised through the bureaucratic tools of census, population registration, blacklisting and a discriminatory legal framework. They show how identity documents are used by Israel as a means of coercion, extortion, humiliation and informant recruitment. Movement restrictions tied to IDs and population registers threaten Palestinian livelihoods, freedom of movement and access to basic services such as health and education.Unfree in Palestine is a masterful expose of the web of bureaucracy used by Israel to deprive the Palestinians of basic rights and freedoms, and calls for international justice and inclusive security in place of discrimination and division.

Conclusion 8.1 Review of the Book8.2 Looking ForwardNotesIndex Review Nadia Abu-Zahra and Adah Kay have produced a remarkable document which describes, with disarming clarity and precision, the process of denationalisation that has been inflicted by the state of Israel on the Palestinians -- Jacqueline Rose, author The Question of Zion (2005)A detailed examination of the use of registration procedures and ID cards of all kinds for controlling the Palestinian population. After this book, no one could fail to understand the centrality of these mechanisms in the occupation of the Palestinian lands -- John Torpey, Professor of Sociology at the Graduate Center, CUNY, and author of Making Whole What has Been Smashed: On Reparations Politics (2006).This book is a meticulous record of the system of identity documentation of Palestinians by the state of Israel, and the systems role in discrimination and dispossession. It has clearly been a labour of love over many years for the two authors, and they have produced a valuable addition to the historical narrative -- Victoria Brittain, former associate foreign editor of the Guardian and author of Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror (2013)A concise and razor-sharp account of the Kafkaesque system of population control inflicted by Israeli authorities on the Palestinian people in the 1967-occupied territories -- Gilbert Achcar, Professor at SOAS, University of London, author of The Arabs and the Holocaust (2010)A bold and uncompromising account of mass denationalisation from both ends of the telescope -- Jane Caplan, Professor of Modern European History, St Antonys College, Oxford Review Quote This is a bold and uncompromising account of mass denationalisation from both ends of the telescope - not only the wide horizon of those affected by the systematic denial of nationality, but also the minutest scale of bureaucratic interventions that entangle the ordinary transactions of daily life in a discriminatory web of permits, passes and licences. Nadia Abu Zahra and Adah Kay show how these interventions come at an intolerable cost to Palestinians, in degraded access to health and education facilities which have been barred by restrictions on freedom of movement and in the fracturing impact of ID documents on Palestinian subjectivities.
