Security and Suspicion: An Ethnography of Everyday Life in Israel

(University of Pennsylvania Press) In this book, Dweck argues that everyday security practices perpetuate national fear and ongoing violence, rather than mitigate it. Through an anthropological lens, Dweck shows how Israeli Jews experience security in their everyday life. She shows that this security and responses to it are much a part of a conflict as soldiers and checkpoints are. Dweck is manager of interpretation at the Princeton University Art Museum.
