Summary
Sociologist born in Acre whose The Palestinians in Israel: A Study of Internal Colonialism (1979) is, in Stateless Citizenship (2013) Chapter 5, the first impressive theoretical attempt to examine Jewish colonization from the turn of the twentieth century rather than from 1948, applying the Internal Colonialism model to Arabs in Israel (PDF p.179-181).
Details
- Zureik holds that Arab and Jewish sectors “did not develop separately and independently under similar conditions” but were “interconnected in an asymmetrical relationship mediated by the British [colonial] presence” (Zureik 1979, 5, as quoted, PDF p.180).
- His September 2004 account “Nowhere Man” (New Humanist 119, no. 5) recounts interrogation at Ben-Gurion Airport and being told he remains an Israeli citizen, some forty years after giving up that citizenship, and must enter and exit on an Israeli passport (PDF p.181-182).
- His review of Ian S. Lustick (Zureik 1981, 91) questions what makes Lustick believe a pluralist framework will succeed in “a more ideologically rigid settler regime, such as Israel” (PDF p.184).
