Slow Urbicide : A New Materialist Account of Political Violence in Palestine, Paperback / softback Book

Slow Urbicide : A New Materialist Account of Political Violence in Palestine Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

The book presents a new materialist understanding of acts of deliberate destruction of the built environment and, specifically, of the politics of aggressive spatial containment and regularization of urbanity employed within the conflict in Israel/Palestine.

Building on recent scholarship on slow violence and urbicidal policies, it discusses the different dimensions of the violence against the urban space, as well as exposes the complex material-semiotic character of the urban territory and of its destruction.

By referring to the concepts of “ethno-territoriality” and “the right to the city,” the book aims to generate an enhanced understanding of problems situated at the overlap of urban studies and investigations of state-sponsored violence, focusing specifically on issues related to urban warfare.

Adopting a new materialist perspective, the book is a searing examination of political violence in our times.

The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political science, international relations, cultural studies, and urban studies.

It will also appeal to NGO professionals and activists across the world.
