Recenzii
An enormously important book. While Rebecca L. Steins work contributes to a growing literature on the technologies and discourses of Zionist domination, both historical and contemporary, it stands out for its brilliant and subtle account of the post-Oslo construction of the Israeli Jewish desire for the Arab. Her analysis of the making of Palestinian people, spaces, and activities into sites of Jewish tourism is careful, compelling, and disturbing.Wendy Brown, author of Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire
Itineraries in Conflict is a subtly devastating book. Deftly weaving Jewish Israeli tourist practices into the wake of the Oslo Process, Rebecca L. Stein demonstrates how political orders sediment into personal tastes, social identities, and regional desires. By showing how drinking coffee might be an act of peace or a theater of war, this book marks an ambitious new itinerary for the study of consumption, tourism, and nationalism.Elizabeth A. Povinelli, author of The Empire of Love: Toward a Theory of Intimacy, Genealogy, and Carnality
A remarkable ethnography. In this lyrical study, Rebecca L. Stein dissects the histories, economic realities, and state practices underlying Israeli tourism into Palestinian areas. She evokes the political longings that animate such tourism while never forgetting the dense histories of power that structure its logics. Impressive in its originality, Steins riveting challenge to simplistic assumptions about Israeli and Palestinian politics is ultimately an incitement to hope.Melani McAlister, author of Epic Encounters: Culture, Media, and U.S. Interests in the Middle East, 19452000
In Itineraries in Conflict, Rebecca Stein writes a thoughtfully compelling ethnography of Israeli tourist practices from the Oslo Accords of 1993 to the second Palestinian Intifada in 2000...its tone remains straightforward yet subtle, showing the care in which her arguments are formed...by weaving between first-person narrative and academic discourse, Stein steadily guides readers through maps, photographs, postcards, cartoons, posters, architectural plans, advertisements, jokes, and other popular texts in a generally engaging way; the selection and juxtaposition of such examples is consistently interesting. Additionally, given the context of the often appalling subject matter of the book, Steins ability to convey thought provoking details in a constructive way rather than a feeling of bleakness or anger is no small feat.
