{"product_id":"traces-of-racial-exception-racializing-ronit-lentin-9781350150942","title":"Traces of Racial Exception Racializing Israeli Settler Colonialism","description":"Positioning race front and centre, this book theorizes that political violence, in the form of a socio-political process that differentiates between human and less-than-human populations, is used by the state of Israel in racializing and ruling the citizens of occupied Palestine.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLentin argues that Israel's rule over Palestine is an example of Agamben's state of exception, Goldberg's racial state and Wolfe's settler colony; the Israeli racial settler colony employs its laws to rule besieged Palestine, while excluding itself and its Jewish citizen-colonists from legal instruments and governmental technologies. Governing through emergency legislation and through practices of exception, emergency, necessity and security, Israel positions itself outside domestic and international law.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDeconstructing Agamben's Eurocentric theoretical position Lentin shows that it occludes colonialism, settler colonialism and anti-colonialism and fails to specifically foreground race; instead she combines the work of Wolfe, who proposes race as a trace of settler colonialism, and Weheliye, who argues that Agamben's western-centric understanding of exception fail to speak from explicitly racialized and gendered standpoints. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEmploying existing media, activist, and academic accounts of racialization this book deliberately breaks from white, Western theorizations of biopolitics, exception, and bare life, and instead foregrounds race and gender in analysing settler colonial conditions in Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronit Lentin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350150940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350150942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Ronit Lentin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941575327999,"sku":"9781350150942","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_007126d8-775c-4a59-b40c-ed0045af5c40.jpg?v=1681453715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/traces-of-racial-exception-racializing-ronit-lentin-9781350150942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
