About this product
Product Information
This book reveals the role played by identity documents in Israel's apartheid policies towards the Palestinians, from the red passes of the 1950s to the orange, green and blue passes of today. The authors chronicle how millions of Palestinians have been denationalised through the bureaucratic tools of census, population registration, blacklisting and a discriminatory legal framework. They show how identity documents are used by Israel as a means of coercion, extortion, humiliation and informant recruitment. Movement restrictions tied to IDs and population registers threaten Palestinian livelihoods, freedom of movement and access to basic services such as health and education. Unfree in Palestine is a masterful expose of the web of bureaucracy used by Israel to deprive the Palestinians of basic rights and freedoms, and calls for international justice and inclusive security in place of discrimination and division.

Out of years of working on the ground, and the best form of collaboration, 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., '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', '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', Out of years of working on the ground, and the best form of collaboration, 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. Simply but devastatingly, Unfree in Palestine, catalogues the forms of discrimination, dispossession, movement restriction, blacklisting and induced transfer that have slowly, but systematically, been working to make the lives of the Palestinian people unliveable. Using a combination of oral history and research into state archives, framed in the context of international law, they tell a story at times almost too painful to read. No one can afford to ignore the force and detail of their account, nor what it shows of the fundamental injustice at the heart of the on-going conflict in the Middle East., 'A detailed examination of the use of registration procedures and ID cards of all kinds for controlling the Palestinian population. After this book, no one could fail to understand the centrality of these mechanisms in the occupation of the Palestinian lands', This book is 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. It is a most useful addition to the vast literature on the Israel/Palestine conflict as well as a precious contribution to the ongoing debate on the comparative status of the West Bank_s population., A detailed examination of the use of registration procedures and ID cards of all kinds for controlling the Palestinian population.

It is a most useful addition to the vast literature on the Israel/Palestine conflict as well as a precious contribution to the ongoing debate on the comparative status of the West Banke(tm)s population., This is a bold and uncompromising account of mass denationalisation from both ends of the telescope - not only the wide horizon of those affected by the systematic denial of nationality, but also the minutest scale of bureaucratic interventions that entangle the ordinary transactions of daily life in a discriminatory web of permits, passes and licences. Nadia Abu Zahra and Adah Kay show how these interventions come at an intolerable cost to Palestinians, in degraded access to health and education facilities which have been barred by restrictions on freedom of movement and in the fracturing impact of ID documents on Palestinian subjectivities., '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', 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. The authors describe and analyse how this evolved alongside the physical squeezing of the size of Palestine, and the squeezing out of hundreds of thousands of people from their original homes. The work 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.
