"This is a remarkably powerful book whose very form underscores the precision and thoughtfulness of its conception. For those readers interested in the most incisive analyses to date of the principles that inform the multiple and intricate technologies of Israeli governance over Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, these essays are unparalleled. In a breathtaking set of essays that provide the chronologies of the occupation, the geographies of disaster, and the visual archives of destruction, this collaboration yields more than new insights into how governance is intensified and sustained. It offers an incisive vocabulary that traces the nature of violence in the past and its contemporary acceleration. The Power of Inclusive Exclusion critically recasts what we have understood about the nature of colonization in Palestine while it demands that we ask better questions about the ongoing violence of colonization across a broader global terrain."--Ann Laura Stoler, Willy Brandt Distinguished University Professor of Anthropology and Historical Studies, The New School for Social Research
