Summary:
"Using Palestine as a case study, this book shows how recognition politics operate to legitimize long-standing colonial power structures. This book forwards a new, theoretically ground-breaking perspective to show that in colonial contexts, settlers use recognition to legitimize and normalize the dispossession and elimination of indigenous people. The book critically examines the Euromodern categories of race, racism and racial hierarchies and the interplay between colonialism, racism and Zionism. Central to this analysis is how anti-Zionism became equated with anti-Semitism, which has led to the advancement of both settler-colonialism in Palestine and Israel's recognition on the international stage"-- Provided by publisher.
