Description
Palestine Studies Salon Lecture "Reframing Palestine: Towards an Anti-Colonial History"
This talk investigates how history was (ab)used to colonize Palestine and its people and to then justify and defend the expansion of this colonization. It subsequently explores the possibility of centering Palestinians in their own history, discussing the enabling potential of anti-colonial frameworks in retrieving the modern Palestinian experience.
