The nature of settler colonialism: Irus Braverman, Settling Nature: The Conservation Regime in Palestine-Israel, University of Minnesota Press, 2023

14Apr24

Description: Studying nature conservation in Palestine-Israel through the lens of settler colonialism. Settling Nature draws on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork to document how the administration of nature in Palestine-Israel advances the Zionist project of Jewish settlement alongside the corresponding dispossession of non-Jews from this space. Highlighting the violent repercussions of Israel’s conservation regime, Braverman plants the seeds for possible reimaginings of nature that transcend the grip of the state’s settler ecologies.
