USDWorking from the premise that gender and violence are cyclically related, masculinities' connection to power and violence are frequently simplistically assumed. Yet, amid ongoing colonisation and military occupation, there are other more complex dynamics simultaneously at play across Israel and Palestine. In this book, Chloe Skinner explores these dynamics, untangling the gendered politics of settler colonialism to shed specific light on the ways in which masculinities shift and morph in this context of colonial violence. Oscillating between analysis of Israeli militarism, colonisation, and military occupation in Palestine, each chapter examines the constitutive performance and negotiation of masculinised ideals across these colonial hierarchies. Masculinities are thus analysed across these settings in connection, rather than in isolation, as gendered hierarchies, performances, and identities intertwine and intersect with the racialised violence of settler colonialism.
- Analyses the intersection of gender, settler colonialism, militarism and resistance across the divide of Israel and Palestine
- Rich ethnographic study, based on years of immersion in Israel and Palestine
- Uses a variety of stories, voices and experiences from a diverse range of sources
