Agrarian questions in global Palestine: past, present and future

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article introduces and invites contributions to the Forum on Palestine: Agrarian Questions Unsettled. While agrarian political economy has received renewed attention in the Arab region, Palestine remains largely absent from debates on old and new agrarian questions. This article brings Palestine into conversation with critical agrarian studies, arguing that agrarian questions offer a valuable framework for examining how interlocking capitalist-colonial power structures shape issues of land, food, ecology, production, and social reproduction in Palestine. It also highlights the insights that Palestine can contribute to broader agrarian debates, challenging prevailing blind spots and enriching understandings of global agrarian struggles and transformations.
