This meticulously curated edited volume presents an assemblage of insightful, critical, and contemporary perspectives on how Israeli domination has been sustained and reproduced in new forms and means using various mechanisms and techniques of control, coloniality, and settler colonialism. Based on original empirical fieldwork, the contributors to this book adopt interdisciplinary and decolonial approaches in their examination of the intricate functions and structures of domination that permeate Palestinian life by illuminating the power dynamics at play and revealing the mechanisms that sustain the settler-colonial regime.
This book identifies sites of colonial control and domination exerted on Palestine by Israel, and demonstrates how these sites of control are also sites of Palestinian resistance. The first section explores the political sites of control by focusing on governmentality, institutions, and technologies and mechanisms of control including how Israel manages access to health, life and death. The second section examines the economic mechanisms of exploitation, dispossession, and de-development including banking, taxation and the relationships between finance capital, aid and military occupation. The third section turns attention to environmental sites of control, focusing on land, indigeneity, space and racial capitalism. Finally, section four scrutinizes the intellectual sites of control, highlighting how norms, narratives, and knowledge production perpetuate domination.

An illuminating and compelling study that examines Israeli settler colonialism in dimensions not typically seen but vital to understand. Full of critical and much-needed insights, this important book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper and more rigorous understanding of the reality that permeates Palestinian life and the ways in which Palestinian resist.

From medical permits to fiscal policy, from mechanisms of censorship to the intricacies of aid, this volume gathers scholars across disciplines to offer wide-ranging, empirically grounded, theoretically nuanced contributions that critique Israeli settler colonialism and uplift Palestinian resistance. Following the best radical traditions of producing knowledge as critique, the authors offer a powerful map of decoloniality, both epistemic and material.

This superbly edited volume offers readers an illuminating series of scholarly studies of the extraordinary particulars of Palestinian resistance to decades of abusive Israeli domination, and in the course of doing so provides a vivid, unsurpassed account of the cruelties of settler colonialism.
Richard Falk, Professor, UN Special Rapporteur, Occupied Palestine, 2008-2014
Resisting Domination in Palestine has a simple but important premise: that Israeli domination and Palestinian resistance are intricately intertwined, and so they must be analysed together. The strength of this edited collection lies in the multiplicity of sites and sectors selected to unpack this relationship. Interdisciplinary, insightful, and inspiring, the authors offer an abundance of rich empirical evidence to show how settler colonialism permeates all aspects of life. Such all-pervasive domination could dampen the spirits, but the book also provides hope by giving ample attention to how Palestinian Sumud, everyday resistance and popular struggle exploits the weaknesses in Israel's mechanisms of control.
Mandy Turner, Professor, University of Manchester, UK
Although domestic politics has not evolved much since the 2007 division between Fatah and Hamas, the economic transformations around the power city of Ramallah are enormous. This excellent book tackles these new realities, while continuing to document the new forms of encroachment by Israel in the West Bank. An essential and timely collection of essays that demonstrate how coloniality and settler colonialism are forms of control that shape and limit the Palestinian projects of autonomy and sovereignty, but also lead Palestinians to use creative repertoires of mobilization.
Benoit Challand, Professor, New School for Social Research, USA
Through an excellent choice of young and more senior researchers, this book provides a timely, innovative and interdisciplinary analysis of the domination/resistance dynamics in the context of the Occupied Palestinian Territories since the post-Oslo Accords of 1993-94. During the past 30 years, the Zionist settler colonial framework characterized by its 'logic of elimination' has actually produced renewed modes of resistance among the Palestinian indigenous population. The volume definitely contributes to an emancipatory prose of knowledge production.
