Using Palestine as a case study, this book shows how recognition politics operate to legitimize long-standing colonial power structures. In existing scholarship, recognition has been seen as an asset coveted by indigenous communities. This book forwards a new, theoretically ground-breaking perspective. Emile Badarin shows that in colonial contexts, settlers use recognition to legitimize and normalize the dispossession and elimination of indigenous people. More than this, settler-colonial states themselves actively seek recognition, employing it as a means to further elimination. In making the case, the book critically examines the Euromodern categories of race, racism and racial hierarchies and draws new conclusions about the interplay between colonialism, racism and Zionism. Central to this analysis is how anti-Zionism became equated with anti-Semitism, which has led to the advancement of both settler-colonialism in Palestine and Israel's recognition on the international stage.
