Racial Capitalism: From British Colonialism to the Settler Colonial Apartheid State
This article explores the development of capitalism in Palestine under British colonialism and the Zionist settler colonial project. It examines first, Israel's internal and external capitalist dynamism, including its treatment of its non-European citizens, namely indigenous Palestinians, and non-Ashkenazi (Arab) Jewish settlers. Second, it explores the state's interdependent relationship with Western, especially US imperialism. The article argue…
Israel’s settler colonialism and the genocide in Gaza: Alternatives
This paper traces the continuity of Israel's settler colonial policies and practices of massacre and genocide, beginning with the 1948 Nakba, continuing up to today's Genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. It argues that genocide is a fundamental feature of the structure of settler colonialism. It is a process and not an event. Since 1947, Israel's settler colonialism has been accompanied by unrelenting military, juridical, geographical, economic, ideo…
The Palestine Exception, Racialization and Invisibilization: From Israel (Palestine) to North America (Turtle Island)
This paper contends that the Zionist policies implemented by Israel had and continue to have a grave impact not only on the Palestinians in historic Palestine alone but also follows them in the diaspora, where some Palestinians have taken refuge. This article argues that Israel's apartheid regime, exposed by various international Human Rights Organizations, is not a recent discovery. Apartheid, the exclusion of the natives, and their racializatio…
Women and the Politics of Military Confrontation: Palestinian and Israeli Gendered Narratives of Dislocation
As the crisis in Israel does not show any signs of abating, this remarkable collection, edited by an Israeli and a Palestinian scholar and with contributions by Palestinian and Israeli women, offers a vivid and harrowing picture of the conflict and of its impact on daily life, especially as it affects women's experiences that differ significantly from those of men. The (auto)biographical narratives in this volume focus on some of the most disturb…
Traces of Racial Exception: Racializing Israeli Settler Colonialism
Location and methodology are crucial to understanding Ronit Lentin’s latest book, Traces of Racial Exception: Racializing Israeli Settler Colonialism, a work that brings together her long experienc
An Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba
In 2018, Palestinians mark the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, when over 750,000 people were uprooted and forced to flee their homes in the early days of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even today, the bitterness and trauma of the Nakba remains raw, and it has become the pivotal event both in the shaping of Palestinian identity and in galvanising the resistance to occupation
Captive Revolution: Palestinian Women’s Anti-Colonial Struggle within the Israeli Prison System
Women in Israel: Race, Gender and Citizenship
Women in Israel provides a fresh, gendered analysis of citizenship in Israel
Imperialism, the State, and Ngos: Middle Eastern Contexts and Contestations
Since September 11 and the war on terrorism, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the Arab world have acquired a special presence and weight, requiring critical analysis. The increase in NGOs just in the past few years—from an estimated 175,000 in 1995 to about 225,000 in 2003—has raised a number of issues and concerns among intellectuals and social activists alike. This is particularly true with regard to women's NGOs. Some of the issues rais…
Forced or Voluntary Loyalties
Israel, Diaspora, and the Routes of National Belonging
A Tribute to Edward Said’s Life and Legacy
The issue opens with two obituaries mourning the passing and celebrating the lives of two great politically engaged intellectuals: Edward Said and Neal Wood. One of the first theorists of postcolonialism, Edward Said perceived this concept as a political one, to be exercised in fighting colonialism as well as analyzing it; he rejected its application as a purely discursive concept, disconnected from social and material concerns. Nahla Abdo commen…

Women, war and peace: Reflection from the intifada
Gender and Politics under the Palestinian Authority
After setting out the main analytical approaches to evaluating women's status, the article assesses the situation of women under the Palestinian Authority (PA) in two main areas: representation in "state" institutions and the law (formal, customary, and shari'a). The work of the women's nongovernmental organizations is surveyed, particularly their campaigns for legal literacy and women's electoral participation. The article concludes that the sit…

Fighting Women: Anger and Aggression in Aboriginal Australia
is common among contemporary Aboriginal women in Mangrove, Australiawomen fight with men and with other women. Victoria Burbank's depiction of these women offers a powerful new perspective that can be applied to domestic violence in Western settings. Noting that Aboriginal women not only talk without shame about their emotions of anger but also express them in acts of aggression and defense, Burbank emphasizes the positive social and cultural imp…

Racism, Zionism and the Palestinian Working Class, 1920–1947
There are few studies which link Zionism to racism, and fewer which see the Palestinians as victims of racism or of Zionist national exclusivism. To redress such grave deficiencies, this paper will explore the role of Zionism as the ideology and practice of the dominant European (Jewish) settler class in Palestine. It will examine the role of Zionism both as racist ideology and as state or official nationalism. The development of Zionist settler …
