Unfree in Palestine by Nadia Abu-Zahra
A masterful expose of the web of Israeli bureaucracy
'Nadia Abu-Zahra and Adah Kay have produced a remarkable document which describes, with disarming clarity and precision, the process of denationalisation that has been inflicted by the state of Israel on the Palestinians' -- Jacqueline Rose, author The Question of Zion (2005)
'A detailed examination of the use of registration procedures and ID cards of all kinds for controlling the Palestinian populationAfter this book, no one could fail to understand the centrality of these mechanisms in the occupation of the Palestinian lands' -- John Torpey, Professor of Sociology at the Graduate Center, CUNY, and author of Making Whole What has Been Smashed: On Reparations Politics (2006).
'This book is a meticulous record of the system of identity documentation of Palestinians by the state of Israel, and the system's role in discrimination and dispossession. It has clearly been a labour of love over many years for the two authors, and they have produced a valuable addition to the historical narrative' -- Victoria Brittain, former associate foreign editor of the Guardian and author of Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror (2013)
'A concise and razor-sharp account of the Kafkaesque system of population control inflicted by Israeli authorities on the Palestinian people in the 1967-occupied territories' -- Gilbert Achcar, Professor at SOAS, University of London, author of The Arabs and the Holocaust (2010)
'A bold and uncompromising account of mass denationalisation from both ends of the telescope' -- Jane Caplan, Professor of Modern European History, St Antony’s College, Oxford
