Beskrivning
A devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel’s destruction of Gaza from an acclaimed architect and investigator'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉEyal Weizman is one of the world’s leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice’s genocide case against Israel.In Ungrounding, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza’s subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable.Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised – and how Israel’s actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide.Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

Ungrounding by Eyal Weizman proves that decolonisation is not revenge but a condition for justice and, in the end, for the liberation of both Palestinians and Israelis

  1. 5/5 Sune

    Boken ger en klarsynt beskrivning av sionisternas kolonisering av palestiniernas mark, med Maín Abu Sitta som exempel. Familjen brukade 1948 6 000 Ha mark öster om Gaza och fördrevs i maj 1948 från sin mark. På denna mark etablerades senare fyra av de kibbutzer - Ein HaShlosha, Nirim, Nir Oz och Magen - som drabbades hårdast 7 oktober 2023.
    En systematisk strategi med etnisk rensning, riv all bebyggelse och förändra landskapsbilden - det finns sedan inget att återvända till.
    Forensic Architecture har dock återskapat samhällen i Palestina och hjälper ICJ med material i den pågående folkmordsprocessen.
