Examining the border-enclosure strategy Israel uses to impose
Palestinian im/mobilization, Maryam Griffin considers the ways
public transportation in the Palestinian West Bank is a constant
site of social struggle. Her illuminating book, Vehicles of
Decolonization, studies collective movement, resistance, and
everyday life in the West Bank to show how Palestinians assert a
kind of Indigenous self-determination over mobility that Israeli
settler colonialism seeks to undermine. Having immersed herself in
a year of fieldwork, Griffin maps multiple engagements with the
flexible bus, shared van, and private taxi services to demonstrate
that the politics of mobility are shaped by ongoing settler
colonialism and Indigenous struggle. Griffin uses critical border
studies to look at the contested nature of mobility at the sites of
transit, where Palestinians practice self-determination through
routine participation, spectacular political organizing and
demonstration, and artistic renderings. Featuring a variety of
street images, Vehicles of Decolonization shows that multiple
registers of people power work in concert not only to resist
settler colonial logics but to reinhabit the land through the
practice and preservation of alternative relations of mobility.
