Territory grabbing: agrarian perspectives on the unmaking and reclaiming of Palestinian sovereignty
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Genocide in Gaza has refocused global attention on the question of Palestine, which has received weak treatment in critical agrarian studies – a field uniquely positioned to address it. This contribution offers a lens of territory grabbing to the land grab debate to explain the dismantling of territorial relations. Palestine makes for a powerful case on territory grabbing, where violent Israeli land seizures include both spectacular forms of violence and slower methods of ratcheting up control. This article also explores how Palestinian social movements are engaging with and shaping the food sovereignty movement and its broader convergences to defend territory.
