Race and the Question of Palestine
This book develops from the position that the colonization of Palestine—like other imperial and settler colonial projects—cannot be understood outside the grammar of race. Race and the Question of Palestine explores how race operates as a technology of power and colonial rule, a political and economic structure, a set of legal and discursive practices, and a classificatory system. Offering a wide-ranging set of essays by historians, legal scholar…
Censoring Palestine
This piece focuses on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism and the campaigns to label Palestine scholarship, teaching, and activism on campuses as antisemitic, and their impact of on academic freedom and the rights of scholars and students. It places Australian universities in a larger transnational context and demonstrates, through a focus on the environment in which academics and students operate—especiall…
Toward an Anti-colonial Approach to Violent Crime among ’48 Palestinians
This essay focuses on the rise in violent crime among '48 Palestinians (also known as Palestinians with Israeli citizenship). Criminal violence, the authors argue, is inextricably linked to Israeli settler colonialism. It is the product of decades of colonization, land dispossession, and social, economic, and political exclusion, and it must be understood to lie at the intersection of settler colonialism and racial capitalism. The authors posit t…

Notes1 The possessive phrasing is intentional as it reflects the paternalistic attitude of Israel toward ’48 Palestinians.2 See Elia T. Zureik, “The Palestinians in the Consciousness of Israeli Youth,” JPS 4, no. 2 (1975): 52–75, https://doi.org/10.2307/2535837; Elia T.

Criminalisation of political activism
This Intervention presents a conversation amongst a collective of scholars who are in the process of establishing a research network studying the criminalisation of dissent. The new UK Police, Crime, Sentencing, Courts Act 2022 is just one recent example of attempts by ‘liberal democratic’ states to criminalise political activism and restrict the right to protest. Similar legislative measures, repressive policing practices, and discourses delegit…
The Nation-State Law
The “Unity Intifada” and ’48 Palestinians
The recent uprising, known as the “Unity Intifada” or the “Unity Uprising,” drew attention to ’48 Palestinians (also known as Palestinian citizens of Israel). In this intervention, I suggest that the uprising brought to the surface not only their commitment to their national identity but also the deep political contention and divide among ’48 Palestinians that has been part of their political landscape for decades. The essay situates the recent u…
Citizenship as Domination
The culturalisation of indigeneity
The Palestinian-Bedouin community in the Naqab, the southern region of Palestine/Israel, has been capitalising since the mid-2000s on the international discourse on indigeneity in their struggle for land justice. The mobilisation of indigenous rights has been advanced by sympathetic critical scholars and civil society organisations, resulting in the international recognition of the Bedouin as indigenous. This article revisits these scholarly and …
