Press blurb: In the last two decades, amid the global spread of 
smartphones, state killings of civilians have increasingly been captured 
on the cameras of both bystanders and police. Screen Shots studies this 
phenomenon from the vantage point of the Israeli occupation of 
Palestinian territories. Here, cameras have proliferated as political 
tools in the hands of a broad range of actors and institutions, 
including Palestinian activists, Israeli soldiers, Jewish settlers, and 
human rights workers. All trained their lens on Israeli state violence, 
propelled by a shared dream: that advances in digital 
photography—closer, sharper, faster—would advance their respective 
political agendas. Most would be let down.

Drawing on ethnographic work, Rebecca L. Stein chronicles Palestinian 
video-activists seeking justice, Israeli soldiers laboring to perfect 
the military's image, and Zionist conspiracy theorists accusing 
Palestinians of "playing dead." Writing against techno-optimism, Stein 
investigates what camera dreams and disillusionment across these 
political divides reveal about the Israeli and Palestinian colonial 
present, and the shifting terms of power and struggle in the smartphone age.
