"In this journey from the subterranean spaces under the West Bank and Gaza to the militarized airspace above, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel's mechanisms of control and transformation of the Occupied Territories into a constructed artifice, in which all natural and built features function as the weapons and ammunition with which the conflict is waged. Weizman traces the development of these ideas, from the influence of archaeology on urban planning, Ariel Sharon's reconceptualization of military defence before the 1973 war, through the planning and architecture of the settlements, to contemporary Israeli discourse and practice of urban warfare and airborne targeted assassinations." "In exploring Israel's methods to transform the landscape and the built environment themselves into tools of domination and control, Hollow Land lays bare the political system at the heart of this complex and terrifying project of late-modern colonial occupation."--Jacket.… (més)

Realizing a deficiency in my knowledge about the Israel-Palestine conflict, I purchased this book on the military urbanism of the area. Clearly Weizman is against the occupation, something he states early in the book, and something that is apparent throughout the book. While this immediately makes the book something many people will outright dismiss, his ability to discern and elucidate the myriad ways that the Isreali military has created fortifications, settlements and walls, and has conflicted with the Palestinians at checkpoints, through the air and literally walking through walls is phenomenal. The book gets more fascinating (and in many ways more surreal) the further one delves into it; from the choice of stone in Jerusalem to the use of mirrors in checkpoints and to the use of drones over occupied space, the book intelligently links architecture, politics and the military.

“This space that you look at,” the commander of one such operation [to reoccupy the West Bank’s densely packed Palestinian refugee camps in 2002] explained to Weizman in an interview, “is
nothing but your interpretation.” While Weizman does not say so explicitly, this statement illustrates much of Hollow Land’s overall thesis. Israel never accepts physical or geographic constraints as givens, using force, creativity and financial resources to “build facts on the ground” and bend the environment to its will.

...

The book’s prognosis is thus desperate and gloomy, but Weizman supports it with prodigious documentation, rare interviews and a remarkable eye for the politics of design.
