Exploring the way urbicide is used to un/re-make Palestine, as well
as how it is employed as a tool of spatial dispossession and
control, this book examines contemporary political violence and
destruction in the context of colonial projects in Palestine. The
broader framework of the book is colonial and post- urban
destruction urbanism; with a working hypothesis that there are
links, gaps and blind spots in the understanding of urbicide
discourse. Drawing on several examples from the Palestinian history
of destruction and transformations, such as; Jenin Refugee Camp,
Hebron Old Town, and Nablus Old Town, a methodological framework to
identify urbicidal episodes is also generated. Advancing knowledge
on one historical moment of the urban condition, the moment of its
destruction, and enhancing the understanding of the Palestinian
Israeli conflict from urbanistic/ architectonic and Urbicide /
Spacio-cide perspectives through the use of case studies, this book
will be essential reading for scholars and researchers with an
interest in Urban Geography and Middle East Politics more broadly.
