"The Common Camp is truly original and deeply researched. It is a brilliant study that is bound to become a classic read for anyone wishing to understand the camp in all its various manifestations and shifts in power relations between those entrapped and encamped and those external to its borders."-Dawn Chatty, University of Oxford"The Common Camp is a great book, both theoretically and historically, and likely to become a foundational reference. It provides a substantial advance on theorizations of the camp, developing from and critiquing Agamben’s work. The rich discussion of the history and politics of Israel–Palestine is an analysis through the camp as much as of the camp, which opens some valuable and much-needed perspective."-Stuart Elden, author of The Early Foucault
