Resisting Erasure

A critical examination of the ongoing struggle in Palestine: reframing the struggle within the contexts of imperialism and global capitalism.

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.

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.
