Palestine Inside Out cover

Tending one’s fields, visiting a relative, going to the hospital: for ordinary Palestinians, such activities require negotiating permits and passes, curfews and closures, “sterile roads” and “seam zones”—bureaucratic hurdles ultimately as deadly as outright military incursion. In Palestine Inside Out, Saree Makdisi draws on eye-opening statistics, academic histories, UN reports, and contemporary journalism to reveal how the “peace process” institutionalized Palestinians’ loss of control over their inner and outer lives—and argues powerfully and convincingly for a one-state solution.

"This book needs to be required reading for all who seek a peaceful future for these two long-tormented peoples." -- Richard Falk, UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Situation in Palestine "An extraordinarily detailed portrait... Weaves together a tapestry of harrowing narratives in a lucid and measured tone." "A lucid, invaluable chronicle of Palestinian daily life in the occupied territories."
