Description

Enclosure marshals bold new arguments about the nature of the conflict in Israel/Palestine. Gary Fields examines the dispossession of Palestinians from their land—and Israel’s rationale for seizing regulate of Palestinian land—in the contexts of a broad historical analysis of power and space and of a long-lasting discourse about land improvement. Specializing in the English enclosures (which eradicated get admission to to common land across the English countryside), Amerindian dispossession in colonial The usa, and Palestinian land loss, Fields shows how exclusionary landscapes have emerged across time and geography. Evidence that the similar moral, legal, and cartographic arguments were used by enclosers of land in very different historical environments challenges Israel’s current claim that it’s uniquely beleaguered. This comparative framework also helps readers in the USA and the UK take note the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in the context of their own histories.
