Recognition and misrecognition have been crucial to enabling and furthering colonial subjection. They still are, and Emile Badarin insightfully unpacks the operation of this dynamic. Could a systematic focus on recognition contribute to finding an ethical way out of the current disaster in Palestine?

Recognition Politics in Settler Colonial States by Emile Badarin brings the world up to speed with how dispossession and elimination is sought to be normalized in Palestine. What Zionists have historically failed to understand is how the Palestinian child they torment and force to remove and deny the living insignia of their historic pride of place will grow up, master a defiant prose, and come back to raise that flag even higher for the whole world to see... Emile Badarin's bold, brilliant, and defiant voice in this book is the voice Israel and its US and European handlers have failed to silence and suffocate!
