Situating contemporary Palestinian colonial geographies in the past, present, and future, the chapters speak to ongoing struggles for liberation in Palestine and beyond, showing in the process how Palestinian life and, with it, resistance are both local and global.”-Polly Pallister-Wilkins, author of \u003ci\u003eHumanitarian Borders: Unequal Mobility and Saving Lives\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“Few works have explored the geographies of encounters. \u003ci\u003eEncountering Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e adds to the expansive scholarly work on the destructive consequences of settler-colonial spatial politics by formulating encounters as a productive site of meaning-making where Palestinian lives interact with various forms, techniques, and apparatuses of settler-colonial power.”-Somdeep Sen, author of \u003ci\u003eDecolonizing Palestine: Hamas between the Anticolonial and the Postcolonial\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“\u003ci\u003eEncountering Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new set of arguments about how to understand and frame colonial power and colonial encounters in Israel\/Palestine. While the ongoing violence of Israeli colonialism and what the editors refer to as Palestinian woundedness slips in and out of the mainstream media, many chapters bring to the fore why this situation remains urgent even as so much of the violence described is slow or quiet.

Organized around the theme of encountering and focusing on the ways violence and struggle are un\/made in the encounter between the colonizer and colonized, the essays focus on power relations as they manifest in cultural practices and everyday lives in anti\/colonial Palestine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Covering numerous sites in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel, \u003ci\u003eEncountering Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e addresses a range of empirical topics-from marriage and queer aesthetics to policing, demolition, armament failure, and violence. The contributors utilize diverse theoretical frameworks, such as hyperreality, settler capitalism, intimate biopolitics, and politics of vulnerability, to help us better understand the cultural making and unmaking of colonial and anti-colonial space in Palestine. \u003ci\u003eEncountering Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e asks us to rethink how colonialism and power operate in Palestine, the ways Palestinians struggle, and the lifeways that constantly encounter, un\/make, and counter the spaces of colonial violence.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Encountering Palestine, Un\/doing Power\u003cbr\u003e Mark Griffiths and Mikko Joronen\u003cbr\u003e 1.
