false 2176747 1 <B>How the "peace process" has made life impossible for ordinary Palestinians.</B><BR><BR>This book is not about suicide bombers. Tending one's fields, visiting a relative, going to the hospital: for ordinary Palestinians, such everyday activities require negotiating permits and passes, curfews and closures, "sterile roads" and "seam zones"&#151;bureaucratic hurdles ultimately as deadly as outright military incursion.<BR><BR>Not since the late Edward Said has there been such an articulate Arab voice on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In devastating detail, Saree Makdisi reveals how the "peace process" institutionalized Palestinians' loss of control over their inner and outer lives. He shows how Israel's massive concrete walls going up around Gaza and the West Bank isolate communities from their lands, their livelihoods, and each other. Through eye-opening statistics and day-by-day reports, we learn how Palestinians have seen their hopes for freedom and statehood culminate in the creation of abject "territories" comparable to open-air prisons.<BR><BR>Anyone surprised at Arab anger or the election of Hamas must read this book. 33 photographs, 12 maps. 2182424 12 5 2008 Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation total:15|5:8|4:6|3:0|2:1|1:0| 15 66 57 6 4 0 false false Tue Feb 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 04:06:54 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 16:52:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat May 17 10:50:27 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 11:23:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 10 20:55:47 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 20:56:06 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 09:50:30 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 09:56:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Nov 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 07 20:35:00 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 29 12:06:22 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed May 14 12:38:21 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 12:38:40 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 21 04:39:58 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 04:40:53 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Wed Sep 23 15:58:42 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 15:58:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 03:26:54 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 03:26:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 10:59:22 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 10:59:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 15:50:41 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 15:51:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 03 11:57:26 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 11:57:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 17:35:33 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 17:35:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 15:17:33 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 15:17:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 26 19:45:40 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 19:45:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 20 20:28:57 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 14:10:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 18 08:47:18 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 08:47:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 14 07:14:29 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 07:14:29 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 31 18:54:55 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 15:30:42 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 18:54:55 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 05 22:22:49 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 13:48:57 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 22:22:49 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2176747
