The book examines how exercises of power and processes of security
exercised in the Occupied Palestinian Territories have formed
Palestinian women as subjects. To understand how women experience
occupation, this book examines the various ways in which the
occupation is directed at making Palestinian women into subjects of
power. The work argues that the exercises of power are focused on
controlling and disciplining women's bodies. The objectives are to
expose how the exclusions of women's daily-lived experiences of
conflict in the occupied Palestinian territories obscures how power
operates, to demonstrate how the elements of Israeli security
practices make women insecure, and to highlight how resistance to
the occupation can be found embedded within daily life in the
occupied territories. Ultimately, all of these themes can be
related more broadly to how women might experience conflict and
resist subjectification by exposing different ways that
subjectifications result in insecurities and resistance to those
insecurities. While the book is specific to women in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories, the exercises of power and enactments of
resistance it exposes demonstrate how important it is to take
seriously the feminist argument that 'the personal is
international, and the international is personal.' This book will
be of much interest to students of gender politics, critical
security studies, Middle Eastern politics, sociology and IR in
general.
