Resisting Erasure

A materialist analysis of the links between global capitalism, energy politics, and racial oppression in Palestine

The Palestinian situation can be fully under-stood only in the context of the historical and regional dynamics of Western impe­rialism and capitalist accumulation. In Resisting Erasure, Hanieh, Knox and Ziadah dismantle the simplistic narratives of mainstream discourse to establish a com-prehensive grasp of the region's current politics.

Whether structured by racist assertions that Palestinians are born antisemitic or by a more sympathetic humanitarian lens, these narratives distort and depoliticise the true cause of the systemic violence and subjugation to which Palestinians are subjected.

Resisting Erasure is a succinct and far-reaching critique of the socio-economic and political forces that sustain the Israeli settler-colonial project and the unwavering support it receives from Western powers.
