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

The Palestinian situation can be fully understood 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 comprehensive 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.
