“The most astonishing book on architecture that I have read in years.”—Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times“A masterpiece of political analysis.”—James Ron, The Nation“Eyal Weizman has taken Edward Said’s thesis to a new level, generating extraordinary, and at times surreally uncomfortable, conclusions … Weizman’s book is of salutary interest.”—Jay Merrick, Independent
Five Stars Rami Excellent Book!. "Read this Book! Down with Israel's Palestinian Policy!" according to NoStake. In his book, Hollow Land, Eyal Weizman provides an original and eye-opening perspective on the various ways Israel maintains control over their occupied territories. Framing his work from the end of the Six Day War in 1967 to the present, Weizman reveals a side of Israel's "architecture of occupation" that is rarely, if at all, brought to light in American mainstream media outlets. He lays bare the "facts on the ground" and how Israel created powerful and oppressive structures of territorial occupation by implementing different spatial practices and technologies of separation and control. These tools of domination ar. Carl said Highly original, powerful. Weizman's analysis of the articulation (division, consolidation, dimensionality, etc.) of space as a primary expression of political power is highly original in approach, full of extraordinary insights, and provides a powerful moral argument against the occupation of Palestine. While some writers theorize about this sort of thing, Weizman's application of highly refined ideas to concrete practices demonstrates a kind of eloquence and courage that is rare in discussions of Israel and Palestine.I think Hollow Land is an intellectual masterpiece.

Acclaimed exploration of the political space created by Israel’s colonial occupationThis new edition of the classic work on the politics of architecture—and the architecture of politics—appears on the fiftieth anniversary of the Six-Day War, which expanded Israel’s domination over Palestinian lands.From the tunnels of Gaza to the militarized airspace of the Occupied Territories, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel’s mechanisms of control and its transformation of Palestinian homes into a war zone under constant surveillance. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand how architecture and infrastructure are used as lethal weapons in the formation of Israel.
