In The Indigenous Anti-Colonial, Linda Tabar explores the radical tradition in which Palestinians remain defiant and undeterred as they hold onto their world and resist settler colonialism. Using a living archive of memory and oral knowledges to trace this long tradition, Tabar outlines the way Palestinians refuse and counter Zionist efforts to erase Palestinian presence and history from the land with an unyielding resistance that is distinctly Indigenous, shaped by Palestinians' bonds with the land and the world that they built with it. This Indigenous anticolonial radical tradition produces its own imaginaries of liberation that seek a world beyond settler colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism, constructing alternative conditions for freedom. As Israeli settler colonialism accelerates its attempts to eradicate the Palestinian people and the horrors of its genocide in Gaza are broadcast to the world, Tabar puts Palestinian conceptions of liberation at the center of conversations around settler colonialism.
Linda Tabar is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Sussex.
"Linda Tabar's outstanding and compelling scholarship here--convincingly argued and beautifully written--is a must read. One of the many exciting features of the work is that Palestine decolonization is critically engaged at the intersection of both Indigenous and Third world frameworks without losing the specificity of how Zionist settler colonial domination aims to contain and subordinate Palestinian self-determination in gendered and racially specific ways."--J. Kehaulani Kauanui, Eric & Wendy Schmidt Professor of Indigenous Studies, Princeton University "A moving and rigorous exploration of Palestinian resilience. Linda Tabar illuminates the material and intellectual practices of Indigeneity that forever tie Palestinians to their ancestral land."--Steven Salaita, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, The American University in Cairo
