This is an indie documentary about Ramallah’s mayor filmed in 2017, and it’s interesting for its juxtaposition of the outrageous and challenging realities of life in the occupied west bank with the day to day trivia of running a municipality.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
