Description: On Settler Colonialism by Adam Kirsch A prominent public intellectual tackles one of the most crucial political ideas of our moment FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Since Hamass attack on Israel last October 7, the term "settler colonialism" has become central to public debate in the United States. A concept new to most Americans, but already established and influential in academic circles, settler colonialism is shaping the way many people think about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues. This short book is the first to examine settler colonialism critically for a general readership. By critiquing the most important writers, texts, and ideas in the field, Adam Kirsch shows how the concept emerged in the context of North American and Australian history and how it is being applied to Israel. He examines the sources of its appeal, which, he argues, are spiritual as much as political; how it works to delegitimize nations; and why it has the potential to turn indignation at past injustices into a source of new injustices today. A compact and accessible introduction, rich with historical detail, the book will speak to readers interested in the Middle East, American history, and todays most urgent cultural-political debates. Author Biography Adam Kirsch is the author of several books of poetry and criticism. A 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, Kirsch is an editor at the Wall Street Journals Weekend Review section and has written for publications including The New Yorker and Tablet. He lives in New York. Review [If] schools were to assign one book this academic year, Id recommend Kirschs.--Pamela Paul "New York Times"Adam Kirsch has given us the most profound intellectual product to emerge from the October 7 massacre of Israelis by Hamas.--Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Tragic Mind: Fear, Fate, and the Burden of PowerAdam Kirsch sets out to examine the baggy concept of settler colonialism and discovers a stark, accusatory, and literally hopeless ideology. He then shows how the concepts conceits can flatten history into a remorseless saga of indigenous innocence, European depravity, and immutable guilt. His bracing book will stir up trouble of the very best kind.--Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln Details ISBN1324105348 Author Adam Kirsch Pages 160 Publisher WW Norton & Co Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781324105343 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-09-27 Imprint WW Norton & Co Subtitle Ideology, Violence, and Justice Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2024-09-27 ISBN-10 1324105348 UK Release Date 2024-09-27 DEWEY 325.3 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
