{"product_id":"trans-colonial-urban-space-in-palestine-maha-samman-9780415677325","title":"Trans-Colonial Urban Space in Palestine: Politics and Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaking a multidisciplinary approach to examine the dynamics of ethno-national contestation and colonialism in Israel\/Palestine, this book investigates the approaches for dealing with the colonial and post-colonial urban space, resituating them within the various theoretical frameworks in colonial urban studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book uses Henry Lefebvre's three constituents of space - perceived, conceived and lived - to analyse past and present colonial cases interactively with time. It mixes the non-temporal conceptual framework of analysis of colonialism using literature of previous colonial cases with the inter-temporal abstract Lefebvrian concepts of space to produce an inter-temporal re-reading of them. Israeli colonialism in the occupied areas of 1967, its contractions from Sinai and Gaza, and the implications on the West Bank are analysed in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy illustrating the transformations in colonial urban space at different temporal stages, a new phase is proposed - the trans-colonial. This provides a conceptual means to avoid the pitfalls of neo-colonial and post-colonial influences experienced in previous cases, and the book goes on to highlight the implications of such a phase on the Palestinians. It is an important contribution to studies on Middle East Politics and Urban Geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maha Samman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415677327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415677325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Maha Samman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064944570623,"sku":"9780415677325","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07f63b62-581b-4c11-b99d-b64bd4833894.jpg?v=1768672089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trans-colonial-urban-space-in-palestine-maha-samman-9780415677325","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
