Seeing the camp as a persistent political instrument in
Israel-Palestine and beyond The Common Camp underscores the role of
the camp as a spatial instrument employed for reshaping,
controlling, and struggling over specific territories and
populations. Focusing on the geopolitical complexity of
Israel-Palestine and the dramatic changes it has experienced during
the past century, this book explores the region's extensive
networks of camps and their existence as both a tool of colonial
power and a makeshift space of resistance. Examining various forms
of camps devised by and for Zionist settlers, Palestinian refugees,
asylum seekers, and other groups, Irit Katz demonstrates how the
camp serves as a common thread in shaping lands and lives of
subjects from across the political spectrum. Analyzing the
architectural and political evolution of the camp as a modern
instrument engaged by colonial and national powers (as well as
those opposing them), Katz offers a unique perspective on the
dynamics of Israel-Palestine, highlighting how spatial transience
has become permanent in the ongoing story of this contested
territory. The Common Camp presents a novel approach to the concept
of the camp, detailing its varied history as an apparatus used for
population containment and territorial expansion as well as a space
of everyday life and subversive political action. Bringing together
a broad range of historical and ethnographic materials within the
context of this singular yet versatile entity, the book locates the
camp at the core of modern societies and how they change and
transform.
