Maryam Griffin publishes Vehicles of Decolonization
IAS faculty member Maryam Griffin has published a new book, Vehicles of Decolonization: Public Transit in the Palestinian West Bank, as part of Temple University Press's Critical Race, Indigeneity, and Relationality series.
From the publisher's site:
Examining the border-enclosure strategy Israel uses to impose Palestinian im/mobilization, Maryam Griffin considers the ways public transportation in the Palestinian West Bank is a constant site of social struggle. Her illuminating book, Vehicles of Decolonization, studies collective movement, resistance, and everyday life in the West Bank to show how Palestinians assert a kind of Indigenous self-determination over mobility that Israeli settler colonialism seeks to undermine.
