Summary:

"An apparatus of turnstiles, overcrowded corridors, and invasive inspections, Checkpoint 300 regulates the movement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians between Bethlehem and Jerusalem, granting access to some while excluding most. Mark Griffiths's sensitive and timely work highlights the myriad ways Palestinians are affected by Israel's spatial control--whether they travel through the checkpoint or not--demonstrating how colonial infrastructures of inequity extend far beyond their physical boundaries to shape daily life. Blending meticulous research with vivid human stories to show the lived realities of borders, power, and resistance in the West Bank, Checkpoint 300 reveals how colonial space is formed through security infrastructure that is both the product and producer of wider geographies of oppression, complicity, and control."-- Back cover.
