Acclaimed exploration of the political space created by
Israel's colonial occupation
From the tunnels of Gaza to the militarized airspace of the
Occupied Territories, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel's mechanisms of control and
its transformation of Palestinian towns, villages and roads into an artifice
where all natural and built features serve military ends. Weizman traces the
development of this strategy, from the influence of archaeology on urban
planning, Ariel Sharon's reconceptualization of military defence during the
1973 war, through the planning and architecture of the settlements, to the
contemporary Israeli discourse and practice of urban warfare and airborne
targeted assassinations.
Hollow Land lays bare the political system at the heart of
this complex and terrifying project of late-modern colonial occupation.
