Tending one's fields, visiting a relative, going to the hospital: for ordinary Palestinians, such activities require negotiating permits and passes, curfews and closures, "e;sterile roads"e; and "e;seam zones"e;-bureaucratic hurdles ultimately as deadly as outright military incursion. In Palestine Inside Out, Saree Makdisi draws on eye-opening statistics, academic histories, UN reports, and contemporary journalism to reveal how the "e;peace process"e; institutionalized Palestinians' loss of control over their inner and outer lives-and argues powerfully and convincingly for a one-state solution.
