Colonialism has three foundational concerns - violence, territory,
and population control - all of which rest on racialist discourse
and practice. Placing the Zionist project in Israel/Palestine
within the context of settler colonialism reveals strategies and
goals behind the region's rules of governance that have included
violence, repressive state laws and racialized forms of
surveillance. In Israel's Colonial Project in Palestine: Brutal
Pursuit, Elia Zureik revisits and reworks fundamental ideas that
informed his first work on colonialism and Palestine three decades
ago. Focusing on the means of control that are at the centre of
Israel's actions toward Palestine, this book applies Michel
Foucault's work on biopolitics to colonialism and to the situation
in Israel/Palestine in particular. It reveals how racism plays a
central role in colonialism and biopolitics, and how surveillance,
in all its forms, becomes the indispensable tool of governance. It
goes on to analyse territoriality in light of biopolitics, with the
dispossession of indigenous people and population transfer
advancing the state's agenda and justified as in the interests of
national security. The book incorporates sociological, historical
and postcolonial studies into an informed and original examination
of the Zionist project in Palestine, from the establishment of
Israel through to the actions and decisions of the present-day
Israeli government. Providing new perspectives on settler
colonialism informed by Foucault's theory, and with particular
focus on the role played by state surveillance in controlling the
Palestinian population, this book is a valuable resource for
students and scholars interested in the Arab-Israeli Conflict and
Colonialism.
