Summary
The author of Chapter 9, “Cops Here, Bombs There: Black–Palestinian Solidarity”, of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, which traces Black–Palestinian solidarity from the Black Power era to Ferguson and the 2020 uprisings (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 1598-1707). He is also thanked in the book’s Acknowledgments among those who shaped its politics (lines 1849-1862).
Details
- The chapter’s frame: where entire political and legal regimes are constructed to maintain a population’s domination, the simultaneity of the 2014 Gaza assault and the Ferguson uprising is no coincidence (lines 1611-1627).
- Its conclusion is that the Black–Palestinian intersection points necessarily to deep critiques of US and Israeli societies and to revolutionary conclusions regarding both (lines 1689-1707).
