Reviews
This book makes a groundbreaking contribution to both Palestine studies and settler colonial studies. The life works and scholarly legacy of Elia Zureik is essential for understanding what settler colonialism is and does Palestine. Equally, this volume forefronts Palestinian scholarly voices and, in doing so, establishes the appropriate foundations for decolonizing Palestine studies. -- Somdeep Sen, Associate Professor in International Development Studies, Roskilde University, Denmark.
A landmark volume by leading Palestinian scholars and a fitting tribute to the pioneering scholarship of the late sociologist Elia Zureik. Inspired by his insistence on the inseparability of epistemological decolonization and empirical rigor in the study of the colonial situation under which Palestinians live, diverse and eye-opening essays illuminate the value of concepts like internal colonialism while exposing the formidable technologies of rule to which they have been subjected in the past and present. * Lila Abu-Lughod, Columbia University *
