Dalit Baum, Ph.D., is AFSC's Director of Economic Activism. She has worked for AFSC since 2013. She is co-founder of Who Profits from the Occupation, and of the Coalition of Women for Peace in Israel. Dalit is a feminist scholar and teacher, who has been teaching about militarism and about the global economy from a feminist perspective in Israeli and American universities.

In this post she writes about the passbook system in South Africa and the ID system in Israel, both established to control, segregate, and limit movement.

Here Clark Reddy responds to the question considering our current crises and quandaries.
