Carceral Entanglement in the Work of Leila Abdelrazaq
This essay considers how the graphic arts of Leila Abdelrazaq give form to Palestine’s contemporary worldliness and to the worldliness of Palestinian difference. It argues that Abdelrazaq’s work illustrates the entanglement of diaspora, memory, and futurity within the interconnected structures of enclosure and expulsion

NotABugSplat
In April 2014, an oversized photograph of an unnamed girl holding a small stone, eyes squarely trained on the lens of the camera, began a new life of internet transit. Carrying the evocative hashtag #NotABugSplat, the photograph, 90 feet by 60 feet and printed on white tarpaulin, was displayed in a small undisclosed village in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of Pakistan. #NotABugSplat provides an evocative example of the contemporary visual culture…
On Relationality, on Blackness: A Listening Post
This introductory essay considers the critical purchase of “relationality” in current scholarly debates in Comparative Ethnic Studies and Comparative Literature. It foregrounds Blackness and/as incommensurability as they are treated in these fields' distinct and overlapping institutional locations, historical developments, and epistemic investments.
The Globality of Whiteness in Post-Racial Visual Culture
This essay examines the spatial contours of post-racial visual culture. It argues that the ‘post-racial’ names the conditions under which racism operates flexibly within and beyond the logics of the colour line, while routinely disavowing its properly racial character through the symbolic deployment of multicultural humanitarianism. Even as it works through the figure of the ‘post-racial’ to bracket an engagement with the racialized rationale for…
Seeing Is Believing: U.S. Imperial Culture and the Jerusalem Exhibit of 1904
What are the historical proximities and parallels linking Jews and Muslims in U.S. imperial culture? What are the technologies of knowledge production that make and make sense of these connections, and what are their effects? The Jerusalem Exhibit at 1904’s Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis offers a generative site through which to consider these questions. The exhibit included hundreds of “native” Muslim, Christian, and Jewish inhabitan…
We Deportees
This article addresses a critical inflection point in the history of the long War on Terror: Israel's 1992 deportation of over four hundred Palestinians to the "no-man's-land" between Israel and Lebanon, and the camp that the deportees fashioned for the better part of one year to contest the legitimacy of Israeli colonialism and demand their return. The deportation-meant to incapacitate Islamic militant resistance to the US-brokered peace process…
Race/Religion/War
This introductory essay points to the long patterns as well as the telling diversity of relationships revealed in genealogies of the race/religion/war triad. Our key observation is that race, religion, and war come together as a meaningful constellation precisely because they together underpin one dominant strategy of the power that we call the political, while at the same time we recognize that the relationships among race, religion, and war are…
A Shadow over Palestine: The Imperial Life of Race in America
A Shadow over Palestine brings a new, deeply informed, and transnational perspective to the decades and the cultural forces that have shaped sharply differing ideas of Israel's standing with the United States—right up to the violent divisions of today. Focusing on the period from 1960 to 1985, author Keith P. Feldman reveals the centrality of Israel and Palestine in postwar U.S. imperial culture. Some representations of the region were used to ma…
Zionism and Anti-Zionism: A Necessary Detour, Not a Final Destination
Zionism and Anti-Zionism:A Necessary Detour, Not a Final Destination Keith P. Feldman (bio) Given the critical keywords animating American studies at present, it should not take long to situate Palestine as a suitable subject for research in the field. Transnationalism, diaspora, and indigeneity; race, gender, sexuality, nation, religion, law, and capital; memory, survivance, refugeehood, social movement, and solidarity; orientalisms, settler col…
Shadowing the White Man's Burden: U.S. Imperialism and the Problem of the Color Line
In our own political present, when the global projection of U.S. power has been profitably marshaled alongside “postracial” rubrics of neoliberal multiculturalism and colorblindness and the meaning and function of “race” has been obscured even as structural racisms persist in shaping life chances, Shadowing the White Man's Burden makes for remarkable reading—especially given that the book's historical focus is 1890 to 1914.Finely argued and assem…
Empire's Verticality: The Af/Pak Frontier, Visual Culture, and Racialization from Above
With the growing use of armed drones by the US homeland security state, the nexus of race, space, and visuality has developed a vector of verticality, what I call 'racialization from above', to supplement the long history of racialization on the ground, both in the United States and abroad. Taking the killing of Osama Bin Laden as a point of departure, this article considers how racialization from above transmutes the temporality of warfare throu…

Representing Permanent WarBlack Power’s Palestine and the End(s) of Civil Rights Keith P. Feldman (bio) In the past few weeks, the Arab-Israeli conflict exploded once again into allout war as it did in 1956 and as it had done in 1948, when the State of Israel was created. What are the reasons for this prolonged conflict and permanent state of war which has existed between Arab nations and Israel? . . . Since we know that the white American press …
