Editorial Reviews
Review
"The author utilizes a historical-comparative methodology to produce a trajectory of today’s Palestinian loss since the time of legal land reforms in England. In this book, the story of the Palestinian landscape becomes a mirror onto which other histories are projected." ― Journal of Palestine Studies Published On: 2018-03-01
“A unique exploration of the development of the Israeli culture of land grabs and the historical legal framework and precedents that have allowed Zionist policies to continue unimpeded.” ― Middle East Monitor Published On: 2018-10-29
"A book of incredible historical sweep and compelling depth of analysis. In Enclosure, none of the arguments Fields undertakes operates at the level of mere assertion." -- Don Mitchell, ― American Association of Geographers Review of Books
From the Inside Flap
"To successfully bring together Palestinian dispossession, U.S. settler colonialism, and early modern English enclosure in one text requires both intellectual ambition and wide-ranging scholarship. While recognizing the specificity of each site, Gary Fields&;s impressive and accessible work offers original insights into the world-changing work of enclosure and dispossession, tracing the powerful political geographies of discourses of &;improvement,&; and the particular technical work of law, maps, and architecture. This is a valuable and important book."&;Nicholas Blomley, author of Law, Space, and the Geographies of Power
"Enclosure is a masterful study of how landscapes come into being, first as imaginable claims to land, and then through technologies of force that remake the material world to exclude and enclose those populations who are outside of the imaginative geography of the claimants. While the book focuses on the history of land claims and landscapes in Palestine/Israel, Gary Fields&;s analysis is enriched through comparison with the processes of claiming and enclosing lands in early modern England and North America."&;Lisa Hajjar, author of Torture: A Sociology of Violence and Human Rights
"In Enclosure, Gary Fields builds an original and eye-opening argument which places the dispossession of Palestinians by Israel within the age-old system of land enclosure&;a broader and deeper logic typifying the political geography of modernity. Fields's novel approach shows how enclosures&;in various times&;have propelled the transformation of land to property in Britain and colonial North America, and how this logic stands behind the practices of the Israeli government. The book illuminates how the spatial logic of oppression travels through different eras and continents, exploiting the spatial tools of modern politics, whether colonial, capitalist, or nationalist. Fields backs his approach with a richly meticulous account of land policies in Israel/Palestine, incorporating the understudied case of the Bedouins in the Naqab (Negev). The combination of historical, conceptual, and empirical contributions makes the book a truly worthy addition to the field."&;Oren Yiftachel, author of Ethnocracy: Land and Identity Politics in Israel/Palestine
