"RCPI Spring 2024 Book Series: Colonizing Palestine: The Zionist Left and the Making of the Palestinian Nakba"

This book talk will feature “Colonizing Palestine: The Zionist Left and the Making of the Palestinian Nakba” Colonizing Palestine: The Zionist Left and the Making of the... (sup.org) by Areej Sabbagh-Khoury.

“Colonizing Palestine” offers a microhistory of frontier interactions between Zionist settlers and indigenous Palestinians within the British imperial field. Juxtaposing history and memory, Sabbagh-Khoury demonstrates that the dispossession and replacement of the Palestinians in 1948 was not a singular catastrophe, but rather a protracted process instituted over decades. The book traces social and political mechanisms by which forms of hierarchy, violence, and supremacy that endure into the present were gradually created.

Featuring Areej Sabbagh-Khoury, Assistant Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Moderated by Nader Uthman, Senior Preceptor in Arabic, and Director of the Modern Language Programs
