In recent years, as peace between Israelis and Palestinians has
remained cruelly elusive, scholars and activists have increasingly
turned to South African history and politics to make sense of the
situation. In the early 1990s, both South Africa and Israel began
negotiating with their colonized populations. South Africans saw
results: the state was democratized and black South Africans gained
formal legal equality. Palestinians, on the other hand, won neither
freedom nor equality, and today Israel remains a settler-colonial
state. Despite these different outcomes, the transitions of the
last twenty years have produced surprisingly similar socioeconomic
changes in both regions: growing inequality, racialized poverty,
and advanced strategies for securing the powerful and policing the
racialized poor. Neoliberal Apartheid explores this paradox. After
a decade of research in the Johannesburg and Jerusalem regions,
Andy Clarno presents here a detailed ethnographic study of the
precariousness of the poor in Alexandra township, the dynamics of
colonization and enclosure in Bethlehem, the growth of fortress
suburbs and private security in Johannesburg, and the regime of
security coordination between the Israeli military and the
Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. The first comparative study
of the changes in these two areas since the early 1990s, the book
addresses the limitations of liberation in South Africa, highlights
the impact of neoliberal restructuring in Palestine, and argues
that a new form of neoliberal apartheid has emerged in both
contexts.
