Some two decades later, this securitized model of aid has become normalized across donor intervention in Palestine. \u003ci\u003eElastic Empire\u003c\/i\u003e traces how foreign aid, on which much of the Palestinian population is dependent, has multiplied the sites and means through which Palestinian life is regulated, surveilled, and policed-this book tells the story of how aid has also become war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on extensive research conducted in Palestine, \u003ci\u003eElastic Empire\u003c\/i\u003e offers a novel accounting of the US security state. The US war chronicled here is not one of tanks, grenades, and guns, but a quieter one waged through the interlacing of aid and law. It emerges in the infrastructures of daily life-in a greenhouse and library, in the collection of personal information and mapping of land plots, in the halls of municipal councils and in local elections-and indelibly transfigures lives. Situated in a landscape where the lines between humanitarianism and the global war on terror are increasingly blurred, \u003ci\u003eElastic Empire\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the shape-shifting nature of contemporary imperial formations, their realignments and reformulations, their haunted sites, and their obscured but intimate forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Bhungalia\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Geography at Kent State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52631960617267,"sku":"9781503637511","price":54.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/6LSTX_zrAK9781503637511.webp?v=1762196002","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/elastic-empire-refashioning-war-through-aid-in-palestine-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
