Drawing on archival research conducted at the Hull History Centre and the Institute of Race Relations and focusing analysis on the Group's public-facing information leaflets and bulletins, this article explores how internal border controls created differentiated access to emplo…
Israeli settler colonialism, “humanitarian warfare,” and sexual violence in Palestine
In recent years, Israel’s military practices have increasingly been described as “humanitarian,” entrenching the narrative that the State of Israel is at war with a “hostile” and “terrorist” Palestinian population.

Pal…

In September 1966, ten years after Tunisia officially gained independence from French colonial rule, Foucault took up a three-year French-government-sponsored secondment, teaching philosophy at the University of Tunis. Four years later, in 1970, …
Palestine in Deleuze
In the late 1970s and early 1980s French philosopher Gilles Deleuze authored a series of articles in which he reflected on the formation of the state of Israel and its subsequent dispossession and colonisation of Palestine and the Palestinian people. Naming the state of Israel as a colonial state, Deleuze's under-discussed texts connect Israel's programme of colonisation to that of the United States and the persisting dispossession of indigenous …
