Summary
Elia Zureik’s model in The Palestinians in Israel: A Study of Internal Colonialism (1979), as presented in Chapter 5 of Stateless Citizenship (2013): the post-1948 order as a third cycle of colonialism, in which the Arab community inside Israel is an internal colony rather than part of a multicultural mosaic (PDF p.180-181).
Details
- The model “differs significantly from the fashionable models of cultural and social pluralism” and, unlike cultural pluralism and multiculturalism, “accounts for possible politicization and reaction against forms of domination” (Zureik 1979, 6, 195, 197-198, as quoted, PDF p.181).
- Its features include transformation of the peasant order under a superimposing capitalist economy, land acquisition by Jewish settlers, a subordinate native labour force, and a “justificatory ideology” rooted in the dehumanization of the indigenous society (Zureik 1979, 28-29, as summarized, PDF p.180).
