Product Description
Review
"Eyal Weizman brilliantly deconstructs Israel's yoking of traditionally humanist disciplines and discourse to the service of its campaign against the Palestinians. This book is chilling but essential reading for everyone who cares about where our world is going today." Ahdaf Soueif, author of The Map of Love "A startling exercise in what it means to think through the axiomatics of occupation, capture and subjection. In this most Deleuzian work, Weizman boldly attempts to create an entirely new method to conceptualize the relationship between surfaces, movement, and the assets of war." Achille Mbembe, author of On the Postcolony "Hollow Land is a remarkable achievement. In its vast scope and intimate, carefully researched details, it affords us real understanding of Israel's project towards the Palestinians, and it is narrated here with the clarity of vision and sensibility of an artist. Scholarly and poetic in its epic reach, Hollow Land is destined to become a classic." Karma Nabulsi Oxford University "A wrenching account of the multiple ways in which the land of Palestine has been hollowed out by Israeli occupation. The 'facts on the ground' have never been revealed with such stark and critical clarity, and Weizman's stunning combination of words and images is at once a brilliant critique of the politics of space and a searing indictment of colonial rule and dispossession." Derek Gregory, author of The Colonial Present: Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq "At once measured and fierce, Hollow Land, is a remarkably original work that confirms Eyal Weizman's indispensable role as a critic of the sinister and ubiquitous instrumentality of space in contemporary politics and life." Michael Sorkin"
Nicolai Ouroussoff, New York Times, September 10, 2006
"...Weizman, an Israeli-born architect who is the recipient this
year of the prestigious Stirling Prize for architecture, will open a series
of lectures this fall at the Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal.
The talks are pegged to the release of Hollow Land: Israel's Architecture
of Occupation, a chilling book in which he explores the way the military
selects targets in bombing and fortifying cities and how those strategies
can re-emerge in civilian planning practices during peacetime. His analysis
is ideally timed..."
