Few matters engender more attention in Palestine than geography. As an intellectual pursuit, geography has been understood as the study of the features of the Earth’s surface. As a practical subject, it is traditionally understood as the material landscape upon which human activity takes place. Like those in other academic fields, geographers produced knowledge – including descriptions, maps, and surveys – in the service of modern colonial projects. And for many people, alas, “geography” merely evokes an unpleasant secondary school subject.
