Summary
One of the four editors of the Settler Colonial Studies special issue “Past is Present: Settler Colonialism in Palestine” (2012), and a co-author of its Editors’ Introduction, which argues that the settler colonial framework should be put firmly on the agenda of Palestine studies and that decolonisation should be restored as the imperative goal of committed scholarship (Past is Present: Settler Colonialism in Palestine, PDF p.1, p.4).
