Book Synopsis The Common Camp by : Irit Katz

Download or read book The Common Camp written by Irit Katz and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing the camp as a persistent political instrument in Israel–Palestine and beyond The Common Camp underscores the role of the camp as a spatial instrument employed for reshaping, controlling, and struggling over specific territories and populations. Focusing on the geopolitical complexity of Israel–Palestine and the dramatic changes it has experienced during the past century, this book explores the region’s extensive networks of camps and their existence as both a tool of colonial power and a makeshift space of resistance. Examining various forms of camps devised by and for Zionist settlers, Palestinian refugees, asylum seekers, and other groups, Irit Katz demonstrates how the camp serves as a common thread in shaping lands and lives of subjects from across the political spectrum. Analyzing the architectural and political evolution of the camp as a modern instrument engaged by colonial and national powers (as well as those opposing them), Katz offers a unique perspective on the dynamics of Israel–Palestine, highlighting how spatial transience has become permanent in the ongoing story of this contested territory. The Common Camp presents a novel approach to the concept of the camp, detailing its varied history as an apparatus used for population containment and territorial expansion as well as a space of everyday life and subversive political action. Bringing together a broad range of historical and ethnographic materials within the context of this singular yet versatile entity, the book locates the camp at the core of modern societies and how they change and transform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1870s a poor fur trapper named Bill Dart found a pretty, wooded point on a lake deep in the wilderness. With stunning skill and audacity he created a world-class Adirondack resort. By 1931, however, the resort was bankrupt and this ¿mountain gem¿ was tattered and facing subdivision. In the nick of time, the property was saved, thanks to the generosity of a rags-to-riches farm boy named Jack Gorham. It has since been transformed into one of the nation¿s premier YMCA camps. This story, spanning 140 years of rich Adirondack history, will fascinate the thousands of campers, staff, and visitors who have come to know and love Dart¿s Lake and Camp Gorham over the years.

Book Synopsis Camps by : Aidan Forth

Download or read book Camps written by Aidan Forth and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concentration of terrorists, political suspects, ethnic minorities, prisoners of war, enemy aliens, and other potentially “dangerous” populations spans the modern era. From Konzentrationslager in colonial Africa to strategic villages in Southeast Asia, from slave plantations in America to Uyghur sweatshops in Xinjiang, and from civilian internment in World War II to extraordinary rendition at Guantanamo Bay, mass detention is as diverse as it is ubiquitous. Camps offers a short but compelling guide to the varied manifestations of concentration camps in the last two centuries, while tracing provocative transnational connections with related institutions such as workhouses, migrant detention centers, and residential schools.
