Settler vigilantism and place remaking in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: A legal geography of displaceability in Susiya
Using a case study approach, we examine displaceability in the geographical landscape of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). We examine incidents in four Palestinian localities in the Susiya region. Similar to other regions in the OPT, the Palestinians in Susiya are affected by legal and geographical processes, both formal (such as land expropriations and declarations of “state lands”) and informal, which include the seizure of agricultur…

Emptied Lands: A Legal Geography of Bedouin Rights in the Negev
It is commonly claimed by Israeli authorities that Bedouins are trespassers who never acquired property or settlement rights in southern Israel/Palestine. This led to massive dispossession of Bedouins. This book sets to examine state claims by providing, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the legal geography of the Negev. It adopts critical scholarly perspectives, drawing on multidisciplinary sources from geography, law, history and the s…
The reflection of the Israeli ‘incorporation regime’ in the land allocation institution in Israel's urban area, 1950–1960
This article focuses on the Israeli land regime as reflected in the land allocation activities of the Development Authority (DA) in urban areas between 1950 and 1960, and particularly on how allocation of space influenced the development of a social stratum during this nation-building period. The analytical lens applies two concepts to the empirical data on DA activities during this period: ‘incorporation regime’ and ‘citizen discourse’. The outc…
The Development Authority and the formative years of the Israeli land regime
The history of Israel’s land allocation regime is traced from its inception in the formative years (1948–60), focusing on distribution of urban land to private and business entities. Rich archival materials provide documentation regarding the Development Authority (DA), established in 1950, and its practices. The prohibition on selling “national lands,” zealously observed in Israel’s rural regions, was never closely adhered to in urban areas. The…
Between rights and denials: Bedouin indigeneity in the Negev/Naqab
The paper examines the nature of indigenous identity among Bedouin Arabs in Negev/Naqab, Israel, against a background of conceptual, legal and political controversy. It traces theoretically and comparatively the rise of indigeneity as a relational concept, deriving from colonial and postcolonial settings. The concept is shown to be part of the globalization of human rights struggle, with a potential of the indigeneity discourse to empower coloniz…

The Expanding Spaces of Law: A Timely Legal Geography
"The Expanding Spaces of Law presents readers with cutting-edge scholarship in legal geography. An invaluable resource for those new to this line of scholarship, the book also pushes the boundaries of legal geography, reinvigorating previous modes of inquiry and investigating new directions. It guides scholars interested in the law-space-power nexus to underexplored empirical sites and to novel theoretical and disciplinary resources. Finally, The…

From Arab Land to 'Israel Lands: The Legal Dispossession of the Palestinians Displaced by Israel in the Wake of 1948
In this paper we examine the Israeli government's use of law to institutionalize the dispossession of Palestinian Arabs displaced by the 1948 war and trace the legal transformation of their land during the formative years of Israel's land regime (1948-60). This legal transformation facilitated the expropriation and reallocation of formerly Arab land to primarily Jewish hands and was therefore a central component of the legal reordering of space w…
