On Zionist Logic and Structure
Thinking Palestine, Decolonization and Abolition in Ethnic Studies
What does it mean to produce and engage in liberatory scholarship and teaching pedagogy on Palestine, given the extant forms of policing, surveillance and censorship that continue to target scholars of Palestine within the US academy? Why do these forms of repression appear even within a field of study—ethnic studies—that grew from emancipatory radical student movements seeking to dismantle (settler) colonial and white-supremacist hegemony in sch…
A Feminist Practice of Bearing Witness to Genocide
A Feminist Practice of Bearing Witness to Genocide Loubna Qutami (bio) what does it mean to bear witness to the staggering loss of life and unimaginable carnage unfolding in the besieged Gaza Strip?

Transnational Histories of Palestinian Youth Organizing in the United States
This article explores the transnational histories that have conditioned Palestinian youth organizing in the United States from the 1950s to the present day.

It argues that in …

The War of Words
This critical set of reflections addresses how the increasing visibility of the Palestinian struggle and the growing attention to Palestine in the (US) academy coincides with altered and depleted meanings for terms and concepts once central to a Palestinian liberation framework. The authors challenge the de-familiarization of the Palestinian political lexicon by ruminating on past, present and potential future meanings for words whose currency, t…
Censusless
This essay explores the unstable racial positioning of Arabs and Muslims in the United States by analyzing the implications of their censusless/white legal status coupled with their hypervisible racialization through containment, surveillance, and repression in the War on Terror context. The author situates Arab/Muslim racialization within a genealogical overview of racial formations of power in the United States and particularly focuses on how t…
Alterity Across Generations
Les accords d’Oslo de 1993 marquent le passage d’un projet de libération anticolonial à un projet néolibéral de construction de l’État porté par l’establishment politique palestinien. Un passage non dénué de paradoxe puisque la génération « post-Oslo » qui aurait dû se réjouir des bienfaits de l’État doit porter le fardeau d’une colonisation néolibérale complexe de la terre et d’une oppression du peuple, sans jamais bénéficier des soi-disant droi…
