The Arab/Iranian Region and the Multipolar Dilemma
Since the era of decolonization, the emergence of multipolarity has opened a structural space for developmental autonomy grounded in the sovereign equality of states. This article asks why that opening has coincided with an intensification of unilateral military violence, especially in the Arab/Iranian region, and makes two interconnected theoretical contributions. First, drawing on Dimitrov’s theorization of fascism, it conceptualizes violent un…
Epistemic Sovereignty and the Imperatives of Southern Knowledge Production
The genocidal destruction of Palestinian universities, archives, and scholars, and the repression that has descended on those who study and teach Palestine across the academies of the imperial core

Is the Fate of Gaza Sealed? The US–Israeli ‘Imperial Expansion Dream’ Has Just Begun
This is a translated and exclusive interview from Wénhuàzònghéng (Beijing Culture Review), where Dr Walaa Alqaisiya and Matteo Capasso discuss the situation in Gaza. As they point out, Israel’s fundamental goal is not just the destruction of Hamas, nor is it limited to Gaza and the West Bank; under the expansionist vision of ‘Greater Israel’, Netanyahu seeks to redraw the map of the Middle East. This strategic aspiration aligns with America’s urg…
Palestine and the Western Academe
Uncis’ Life-worlds the decolonial ecologies of the matriarchs of the Oceti Sakowin
The Academic Question of Palestine
This article provides theoretical and contextual background to The Academic Question of Palestine. Building on the work of Edward Said, we maintain that Palestine constitutes a unique question with special status in international academic spaces, particularly in the West, because of its entanglement with other imperial and settler colonial forms of dispossession. We argue that the special place that Zionism and its defence has occupied for decade…
The decolonial wor(l)ds of Indigenous women
This article focuses on Indigenous women’s narrative and storytelling tradition and its relation to decolonial ecologies. It argues that Indigenous women’s narratives, both written and orally transmitted, constitute sites of defiance to the eco-social structures of settler colonialism and imperialism. Drawing on the case of Palestine, the article reveals that ‘zoocentric environmentalism,’ as represented by an Israeli installation at the Venice B…
Beyond the contours of Zionist sovereignty
This article takes the May 2021 uprising in Palestine, known as the Unity Intifada, as a prism to map old and new political geographies between coloniser and freedom-fighter, whose significance extends beyond the temporal limits of the May event. The first part of the paper investigates the role of identity and cultural geographies in re-enforcing Jewish claims to sovereignty. It shows how the Zionist production of pink (sexed/gendered), red (rac…
Decolonial Queering in Palestine
This book provides a vivid account of the political valence of weaving queer into native positionality and the struggle for decolonisation in the settler colonial context of Palestine, referred to as decolonial queering. It discusses how processes of gender and sexuality that privilege hetero-colonising authority shaped and continue to define both the Israeli-Zionist conquest of Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation, thus future i…
Decolonial Queering in Palestine
Guest Editor’s Introduction
What does the interaction between Middle East Studies and queerness look like? What does it signify? And why, if at all, does heeding this connection matter for both Queer and Middle East studies? This special issue navigates these questions and poses many more to generate a productive engagement with the set of politics and theories that “Queering the Middle East” enables. For example, if we were to begin by contemplating the set of meanings tha…
Palestine and the Will to Theorise Decolonial Queering
This article posits a theorisation of decolonisation in relation to queer as it emerges from the settler-colonial context of Palestine, what I call decolonial queering. The first part provides a new reading of Zionist settler-colonialism, which I define as hetero-conquest. Its novelty lies in refocusing the question of colonialism in native grounded knowledge of queering, while showing the limitations of those existing studies whose frames emanat…
Decolonial Queering
This article analyzes the work of Palestine's most established queer rights organization, alQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society, to reveal the political power of being queer in Palestine. It argues that an open, feminist, queer space such as alQaws is a productive site to think and practice decolonization. Relying on the author's direct involvement with the group, the article traces the development of queer Palestinian tho…
