Resisting Erasure
Capital, Imperialism and Race in Palestine
By Adam Hanieh
-
This essential read provides clarity on the intertwined relationships of global capitalism, energy politics, and racial oppression, and challenges readers to rethink their understanding of Palestine. <br><br>Dismantling the simplistic narratives that dominate mainstream discourse, Hanieh, Knox and Ziadah argue that the Palestinian situation cannot be fully understood without considering the broader historical and regional dynamics of Western imperialism and capitalist accumulation. By integrating the roles of imperialism, fossil capitalism, and racialization, this book offers a thorough critique of the socio-economic and political forces that sustain the Israeli settler-colonial project and the unwavering support it receives from Western powers.
