Bananas and the imaginary of progress: Eco-nationalism and agro-capitalism in Mandate-era Palestine
This article examines the role of banana plantations in the settler-colonial, capitalist transformation of Mandate-era Palestine. A microcosm of Zionist settlement and Indigenous Palestinian resistance, the cultivation of bananas reveals competing visions of development and national legitimacy, rooted in the cultural politics of ecological and economic nationalism. Framing banana cultivation in Palestine as a site of eco-nationalist struggle, the…
Climate change resettlement and inhabitation: Spatialising cultures of colonial pasts and alternative futures in the Global South
Climate change is an inherently human-made phenomenon that shapes the mobilities of species and things who, in turn, influence the ways climate change is experienced by humans. These multifaceted climate mobilities are grounded in the spatial histories of imperialism and settler-colonialism, and the legacies of socio-cultural injustice inflicted upon the Global South. Central to climate mobilities is climate change resettlement, which, because it…
Living in and with ruins: Decolonizing spatial pedagogies in territories of conflict
Technologies of life-making in the British refugee camps of the Southern Levant
This article offers new conceptual and empirical clarity for the study of technology in refugee camps. By approaching the refugee camp as a contested spatial-cultural field, the article interrogates technology not simply as a means of aid and biopolitical control, but also of life-making. Framing refugees’ innovative practices in states of emergency as a ‘technology of life-making’ challenges the imperialism of encampment, which served to repress…
Militarized urbanism in the cold war era: The resettlement of the refugees in Khan Younis
The resettlement of Palestinian refugees is often studied through two distinct approaches: the first uses settler colonialism as an analytical framework to explore structural violence and Indigenous transfer, expressed through counterinsurgency and urbicide; the second investigates practices of care and governance and their representations within a universalized discourse of humanitarianism. This article introduces a new approach, exploring histo…
Open Gaza: Architectures of Hope
Concrete Conflicts: The Vicissitudes of an Ordinary Material in Modernizing Gaza City
Working within the field of architecture in conflict zones, this article discusses two construction projects that heavily relied on concrete in Gaza city to reveal a collision between concrete’s reformative capacity in processes of modernization and the Israeli occupier’s agenda of “reformation” by concrete. The Israeli-designed and constructed Sheikh Radwan neighborhood was intended to rehabilitate Palestinian refugees and was supposed to silenc…
Mediterraneanism in conflict: Development and settlement of Palestinian refugees and Jewish immigrants in Gaza and Yamit
This article examines Israeli development in the Gaza Strip and Northern Sinai from 1972 to 1982 from the perspective of architectural history. We argue that the prime objective of the Israeli occupation in this decade was economic development, not elimination; its guiding logic saw humanitarian aid as the preferred way to “resolve” the Palestinian refugee crisis. We follow how the pro-development, humanist “know how” of the architects and urban …
The right to an urban history: The Gaza Master Plan, 1975-1982
Accepting frameworks promulgated by the Israeli occupation, public discourse has often debated Gaza as a "problem" to be solved, treating it more like a political quandary than a concrete city. Recent scholarship on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict explicitly problematized this approach and resisted the subsumption of Gaza city into the larger geopolitical unit of the eponymous Strip. This article contributes to this new body of critical work by …
Being citizens of the City of Gaza: The resettlement of the Al-Shati Refugee Camp at Sheikh Radwan, 1967-1982
This article examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the prism of urban citizenship. It focuses on the Israeli attempt to reshape urban citizenship in Gaza by planning and constructing Sheikh Radwan, a residential neighborhood designated as a permanent quarter for the refugees inhabiting the nearby Al-Shati camp. Although Gaza’s local residents, like the refugees, were deprived of national citizenship rights, they retained the privilege…
The Palestinian refugee camps: The promise of ‘ruin’ and ‘loss’
This article aims to reconceptualize the aggregate 'Palestinian refugee camps' in light of the political reality from which the refugees emerged, and take into consideration the new space that took shape, characterized by processes of destruction and dispossession of civil status. The article will focus specifically on the period 1948–1967, and examine these processes by using tools from architectural theory and history. The article contends that…
