This essay-led book project by Izabella Scott and Skye Arundhati Thomas examines ongoing land disputes, military occupation, and communication blackouts. Through an extended text and a selection of photo essays made in collaboration with photographers, the project gathers together records produced under daily surveillance and confrontation. It seeks a new register of writing and image to make visible the conditions of military occupation and the protracted violence of the blackout.
‘A searing and forensic exposé of the Indian-Israeli special relationship and its terrifying tactics of oppression… A stark and much needed analysis.’ Preti Taneja
‘Under siege and blacked out – this intimate, haunting account of the daily workings of occupation illuminates its slow, subtle evils… It is important reading right now.’ Tessa McWatt
‘Land is stolen and liberty denied… Though it proceeds with the cold relentlessness of a thriller, everything in Pleasure Gardens is all too real. Brilliant, urgent work.’ Sita Balani
