The Colonizing Self: Or, Home and Homelessness in Israel/Palestine Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2022-01-02 Lorenzo Veracini
The compendium of settler colonial studies has, rightfully, focused on the plight of the colonized. Hagar Kotef turns the gaze to the subject positions of colonizers in this book. But rather than exploring the technologies, logics, and legal structures of power and violence of colonizers, Kotef explores the most intimate of spaces of the home as that which legitimizes and extends out the passive and

In their reflection, four members of the collective consider the intellectual and embodied tradition from which the statement draws as well as the process of writing collaboratively in moments of intense grief and immense pride. They elaborate

Palestine Is Throwing a Party and the Whole World Is Invited: Capital and State Building in the West Bank Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Lisa Rofel
Stamatopoulou-Robbins argues, “the villagers made the Authority their government, giving it on-the-ground traction despite its failures” (p. 123). Through appeals for intervention, Palestinians treat the PA as a “phantom state” (shibih dawla)—a nonsovereign entity upon which people place their hopes despite its consistent shortcomings (p. 135). StamatopoulouRobbins suggests that the combination of

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank: The Theatrics of Woeful Statecraft Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Rania Jawad
Invoking notions of performance and performativity to describe the settler-colonial condition of Palestinian lives could be said to span back to the Zionist claim that Palestinians do not exist and that being “Palestinian” is an enacted identity. A more recent iteration of this distortion is a logic that grants the Palestinian liberation struggle legitimacy only if Palestinians perform according to

The “Unity Intifada” and ’48 Palestinians: Between the Liberal and the Decolonial Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Lana Tatour
Abstract 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

“Who Will Hang the Bell?”: The Palestinian Habba of 2021 Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Abdel Razzaq Takriti
Abstract This essay reflects on the Palestinian habba of 2021, contextualizing it within the broader trajectory of Palestine’s century-old anti-colonial continuum. Noting the substantial scale and intensity of the latest mobilizations, this essay argues that colonial structural realities induce a cyclical regeneration of popular resistance in historic Palestine and in exile. Nevertheless, the emancipatory

Waste Siege: The Life of Infrastructure in Palestine Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Andy Clarno
Raw sewage and burning trash; mountains of debris from demolished homes and construction sites; piles of broken phones, flip-flops, and defective household goods; toxic chemicals, industrial runoff, informal dumping, and settlement refuse; bags of moldy bread hanging from walls. These and other forms of waste accumulate in and around Palestinian cities, villages, and bodies, forming what cultural anthropologist

Uprisings and Unity: Past and Present; Introduction Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Rashid I. Khalidi
As demonstrated most recently by the events of spring 2021, change in Palestine often comes from the grassroots when it is least expected. That was the case with the First Intifada in 1987, which surprised the Israeli occupiers, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leadership, and the world. It was also true of the emergence of the armed resistance movements of the 1960s that seized control

Biopolitics of the More-Than-Human: Forensic Ecologies of Violence offers insight into the biopolitical technologies employed by state militaries and their wideranging targets, such as drone strikes that kill civilians, slaughter animals, contaminate crops, and poison water. Drawing on Indigenous cosmo-epistemologies that understand nonhuman entities as sentient actors, Joseph Pugliese introduces a

“Ramadan Does Not Come for Free”: Refusal as New and Ongoing in Palestine Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Rana Barakat
Abstract This essay reflecting on the most recent uprising in Palestine argues for an understanding of refusal as ongoing. It reads the enormity of events taking place in a short period of time over the late spring and early summer of 2021 as historical. Focusing on Jerusalem as an epicenter, the essay uses the concepts of “refusal” and “ongoing” as a lens with which to understand the events as both

Defying Exception: Gaza after the “Unity Uprising” Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Safa Joudeh
Abstract Over the past three decades, a series of regimes invoked by Israel have gradually constructed the Gaza Strip into a site of exception to commonly recognized rules and conventions, legitimizing and perpetuating the territory’s separation and confinement. The organizing principle behind Gaza’s state of exception is the separation, isolation, and confinement of a surplus Palestinian population

National Identity in the Guest Room: The Palestinian “Duyuf” Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Alessandra Gola
Abstract This article explores the manifold dimensions of Palestinian contemporary identity through the lens of the ghurfat al-duyuf (traditional guests’ room) and its design. It argues that against a backdrop of a decades-long military occupation, this domestic space devoted to social functions is the terrain where families spontaneously express the core features of their identity and their participation

Forging Justice from Below: Palestinians, Indigeneity, and Abolition Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-07-02 Alex Winder
Abstract This essay examines the practices and institutions of “rebel justice” that emerged during two of the most effective and sustained anti-colonial uprisings of the twentieth century, the Great Revolt and the First Intifada. It addresses these uprisings “from below” to illuminate their social foundations and the kinds of futures they imagined. For Palestinians, communal justice (sulh, ‘urf, and

Other Laboratories: The Great Revolt, Civil Resistance, and the Social History of Palestine Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-07-02 Charles W. Anderson
Abstract This essay briefly examines a pattern of little-known local and general strikes staged by the Palestinian public during 1938, amid the Palestinian uprising known as the Great Revolt. While largely overshadowed by the armed struggle then underway, these nonviolent strikes illustrate the widespread character of Indigenous resistance to British colonial rule and of support for the rebellion.

Navigating the Time of Arab Jerusalem: A Perspective from Within Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-07-02 Haneen Naamneh
Abstract For many Palestinians, the colonial denial of Palestinian self-determination in an independent nation-state has rendered futile the very notion of a future. But it is imperative to challenge the colonial logics that produce the native’s future as always already failed, unachievable, or impossible. This essay examines snippets of the life of Arab Jerusalem between the two major ruptures of

Pensioners, Orphans, and Widows versus Banks: Palestinian Financial History Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-07-02 Sreemati Mitter
Abstract This essay attempts to rectify the silence about the willful expropriation, by British and Israeli forces, of private Palestinian financial assets. Placing at its core the stories of ordinary Palestinians, it explores how they were robbed of their bank accounts, bonds, stocks, pensions, salaries, and safety deposit boxes during the creation and termination of the Palestine Mandate (in both

The ICC and Palestine: Breakthrough and End of the Road? Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-07-02 Pearce Clancy,Richard Falk
Abstract The recent ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) affirming territorial jurisdiction over the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip may at first appear to be a mere procedural decision outlining the court’s authority to investigate Israeli criminality. Upon closer scrutiny, however, it is clearly much more: an indirect, yet far-reaching vindication of Palestinian

Palestinian Refugees of the Oslo Generation: Thinking beyond the Nation? Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-06-28 Sophie Richter-Devroe
Abstract This article analyzes the political narratives and critiques of young Palestinian refugees who have grown up in the bleak post-Oslo period. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews conducted with refugee youth in Jordan and the West Bank between 2009 and 2014, I show that this generation of refugees endorses a collective Palestinian identity and peoplehood with claims to the (home)land

Secularism and the Religious Shift in Palestinian Chicago: Implications for Solidarity and Activism Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-04-02 Loren D. Lybarger
Abstract This article analyzes transformations in Palestinian secularism, specifically in Chicago, Illinois, in response to the weakening of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the emergence of Islamic reformist structures since the late 1980s. Up until then, secular community organizations that aligned with the secular-oriented Palestinian political factions constituted the ideological center

“A World of Tomorrow”: Diaspora Intellectuals and Liberal Thought in the 1950s Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-04-02 Hilary Falb Kalisman
Abstract This article contributes to Palestinian intellectual history by discussing the lives and writings of three diaspora intellectuals during the transitional period of the 1950s: Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, Abdul-Latif Tibawi, and Nicola Ziadeh. I argue that they fused a conservative acceptance of state authority and avoidance of radical politics with a liberal understanding of nationalism and scholarship

Palestine—and Empire—Are Central to Arab American/SWANA Studies Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-04-02 Louise Cainkar
Abstract Taking the small number of ethnographic studies of Palestinian communities in North America as its problematic, this article situates that predicament in the larger context of decades of academic silencing of Arab American and SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) studies, efforts that represent but one component of a larger political project to quash pro-Palestinian activism. Abetted by

Disrupting Settler-Colonial Capitalism: Indigenous Intifadas and Resurgent Solidarity from Turtle Island to Palestine Journal of Palestine Studies (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2021-04-02 Chandni Desai
Abstract This article explores the resurgence of Indigenous/Palestine solidarity during the Wet’suwet’en land sovereignty struggle in Canada that took place around the same time Donald Trump’s Middle East “peace plan” was released in early 2020. Historicizing this resurgence within a longer period of anti-colonial resistance, the article attends to the distinct historical, political-economic, and juridical
