Decolonizing Palestine : Hamas between the anticolonial and the postcolonial
Sen, Somdeep
Decolonizing Palestine : Hamas between the anticolonial and the postcolonial - USA Cornell University Press 2020 - 186p;
In Decolonizing Palestine, Somdeep Sen rejects the notion that liberation from colonialization exists as a singular moment in history when the colonizer is ousted by the colonized. Instead, he considers the case of the Palestinian struggle for liberation from its settler colonial condition as a complex psychological and empirical mix of the colonial and the postcolonial. Specifically, he examines the two seemingly contradictory, yet coexistent, anticolonial and postcolonial modes of politics adopted by Hamas following the organization's unexpected victory in the 2006 Palestinian Legislative Council election.
