Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Ben-Gurion International Airport is a brash, beautiful, and strikingly confident construction that serves as a testament to Israel’s self-ascribed position as a bastion of social and technological advancement amid a sea of inchoate enemies.

#2 I visited the village of Um al-Nasr in northern Gaza, which was flooded when Israel refused to allow the importation of pumps, pipes, and filters to treat the sewage that was leaking into the ground.

#3 Globalization is the process by which the world becomes a single space, and it is not just about technological advancement and transnational relations. It is about one’s sense of self in a world that is increasingly being viewed as a single space.

#4 The nation is an imagined community, meaning that it is borderless and consists of members who share a common heritage and culture. The state is the bureaucratic mechanism necessary to organize and control a nation within territorial boundaries.
