Reproduction of Palestinian Heterotopic Space: Encountering First Wave of COVID-19 in East Jerusalem

Middle East Critique

This article discusses how the Palestinians approached the pandemic within the context of occupation, and how they used their power to reproduce what Henri Lefebvre called heterotopic spaces. The aim is to shed light on the evolving role of civil society to support local action in dealing with a pandemic and to understand COVID-19 from peoples’ perspective rather than from a top-bottom lens in occupied cities.
