Description
Gaza as Metaphor explores the complexities of this contested territory through a diverse range of essays. Written by journalists, writers, doctors, academics and others, these contributions use metaphor to record and historicize Gaza, contextualizing its everyday realities and interrogating its representations. The essays within touch on life and survival in Gaza, the making of the Gaza Strip and its increasing isolation, as well as the discursive and visual tools that have often misunderstood this place. By examining Gaza's real and symbolic significance, the volume sheds light on concepts such as exception, inequality, dispossession, bio-politics and necro-power. This book demonstrates that Gaza is a real place, an inseparable part of the past, present and future condition of Palestinians, and of dispossession more generally.
