Hagar Kotef Boeken

Exploring the dynamics of settler-colonialism, Hagar Kotef examines how colonizers transform spaces of violence into homes, using examples from Israeli Jews in the West Bank to European settlers in the Americas. The book delves into the cultural, political, and spatial mechanisms that facilitate this process, revealing how the violence inherent in colonization shapes both collective and individual identities. Kotef argues that the ability to live amidst generated destruction fosters a troubling attachment to violence, intertwining it with one's sense of self.

Examines the roles of mobility and immobility in the history of political thought and the structuring of political spaces.

Hagar Kotef explores the cultural, political, spatial, and theoretical mechanisms that enable people and nations to settle on the ruins of other people's homes, showing how settler-colonial violence becomes inseparable from one's sense of self.
