Resisting Erasure: Capital, Imperialism, and Race in Palestine
Join the Centre for the Study of Race, Class and Empire, for a book talk with Adam Hanieh, Robert Knox, and Rafeef Ziadah on their new book "Resisting Erasure: Capital, Imperialism, and Race in Palestine".
Book talk with Adam Hanieh, Robert Knox, and Rafeef Ziadah
Resisting Erasure presents a materialist analysis of the links between global capitalism, energy politics, and racial oppression in Palestine.
Why has Palestine become a defining fault line of contemporary politics?
Challenging mainstream narratives that reduce Palestine to ancient hatreds, humanitarian tragedy, or legal abstractions, Resisting Erasure places Israeli settler-colonialism within the broader historical arc of imperialism, race, and fossil capitalism in the Middle East.
