ELLA SHOHAT, On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings (London: Pluto Press, 2017)
Year: 2019
Type: book-review
Abstract: On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements is, in many ways, an archive of the labor Ella Shohat has undertaken to theorize the multiple kinds of displacements that accompany partition.In this collection of essays, talks, and interviews, she constructs meaningful parallels between dislocated Arab-Jews and displaced Palestinians with the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948; however, she does so not to collapse differences between them, but to point to the multiple violences that animate life in the wake of occupation and exile.
