Screen Shots: State Violence on Camera in Israel and Palestine

Abstract

of the social demographics and aspects of Campus in Camps, and from situating it more robustly within the broader efforts at decolonization in Palestine. It is also disappointing that the book relies primarily on the work of famous white Euro-American scholars for its theories. One wonders if locating all of the Palestine material in two chapters of the book sandwiched between five other chapters mainly concerned with Euro-American derived theories might reproduce some of the problems that the book seeks to address. The book’s strength is its use of philosophy of science to rethink what is one of the largest failed institutions of our times. The compelling reading of Campus in Camps offered in the second part of the book will be of special interest to JPS readers. In sum, this book is a fascinating and useful read for anyone seriously interested in decolonizing the university, particularly from a philosophical and/or practice perspective.
