NourbeSe Philip's book-length poem, Zong!, while seemingly focused on a particular catastrophe which occurred in 1781 aboard the slave ship Zong, is also a metonymy for the entirety of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and its legacy. Philip's book (written with the guidance of the voice of the ancestors Setaey Adamu Boateng) is an attempt to retrieve the voices of the drowned, unnamed slaves. It makes its difficult – almost impossible – poems from out of the words of the court case between the owners and the insurers of the ship. Through Zong!, a poem which remembers and grieves the unnamed African victims of the Zong, Philip asks if and how it is possible to make meaning of the suffering of the past, and even to heal. In tracing and retracing these questions, the poem goes beyond grief to become a work of prophetic annunciation, both joining and disjointing “the visionary company.”","PeriodicalId":43759,"journal":{"name":"Political Theology","volume":"19 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135819166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One group of primarily settler Christians on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin/Anishnaabe territory engaged such a praxis, through Right Relations with their United Church in Ottawa, toward social healing (Lederach and Lederach) of colonial wounds, transformationally engaging in oral-aural praxis to relationally receive hi/stories of local Indigenous communities. Stan McKay, Cree elder and former moderator of the United Church of Canada, through Indigenous peoples’ understanding of creation invites a decolonial turn with hermeneutical listening in which one hears teachings of Jesus as cry of creation – such that even “the stones cry out” (Luke 19:40) and the trees teach – which has implications for a settler theology of aurality.KEYWORDS: Colonialityindigenoussettlersettler colonialismdecolonial healingUnited Churchliberation theology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Engel and Lippert, “Nayaano-nibiimaang,” map.2 Simpson, “Looking after Gdoo-naaganinaa,” 36–37.3 Simpson, Dancing on Our Turtle’s Back, FN 10, 14.4 White, “Battle to Save a Mighty Old Oak Succeeds”.

However, no Muslim political-theological works address Indigenous struggles or seriously engage settler-colonial studies. Migrant Muslims assume that the U.S./Canada are democratic-secular despite their animation by white-supremacist religious doctrines as Manifest Destiny. This contribution addresses the Qur’anic bases for a globally applicable decolonial, anti-statist/capitalist, social justice, Islam or what I refer to as Anarcha-Islam Drawing on the Qur’anic perspective of ethical-political responsibilities of Muslim hijra (migration), I argue how non-Black migrant Muslims in exile must seriously re-examine their ethical-political commitments and construct mutual alliances with Indigenous and Black peoples in their demands for land’s repatriation as well as reparations.KEYWORDS: Islamdecolonizationabolitionsettlers of colorTurtle IslandPalestinesocial movements Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Jacobs Technion-Cornell University website: https://tech.cornell.edu/jacobs-technion-cornell-institute/; Hudson, “Cornell NYC Tech’s Alarming Ties to the Israeli Occupation”.2 College Foreign Gift and Contract Report: https://sites.ed.gov/foreigngifts/.3 Koch, “The Desert as Laboratory,” 498.4 The Cherokee and the other Five Civilized Tribes which included the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Seminole resisted the act.

It also explores what the consequences of this uniqueness might be, particularly with regard to future decolonization projects of Israel-Palestine. Dealing with the case of Zionism and Israel is interesting because it allows us – in fact, it forces us – to ask questions about the nature of modernity, liberalism, secularism, colonialism and nationalism writ large. Zionism itself combines many aspects of modern Europe, including nationalism, colonialism, religion, liberalism, and socialism; this raises the question of whether we can offer a critique of Zionism that is not also a critique of the modern Europe that invented all of these categories and practices. All these issues raise the question of how we are to judge Zionism. Can we offer a critique of Zionism that is not at the same time a critique of Europe?KEYWORDS: ReligionZionismnationalismpolitical theologyPalestinesecularizationdecolonization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 See Yakobson and Rubinstein, Israel and the Family; and Sapir and Statman, Religion and State in Israel.2 See in general: Friling, “What Those Who Claim Zionism,” 848–872; Shapira, “The Debate Over New Historians in Israel,” 888–909; Lissak, “‘Critical Sociologists and Establishment Sociologists,” 84–108; and Aronson, “Settlement in Eretz Israel,” 217.3 For example, see Massad, “The Persistence of the Palestinian Question.” See also Zureik’s early work on the subject deploying the colonial frame in Palestinians in Israel, and his updated and extended approach in Israel’s Colonial Project in Palestine.

Both writers stress to some extent the unique case of Zionism and the difficulty in reaching a secular politics that can lead to the decolonization of Palestine.5 See my paper “Notes on the Value of Theory – Readings,” 1–44.6 In this regard, I clearly agree with Rouhana and Kevorkian’s critique of Zionism, though I differ in my level of belief in western liberal democracies and universal values.7 Derrida, for example, critiques Zionism in this way. Zionism, he argues, is just another example of identity politics. But are all identity politics the same and as bad as each other?

This also structures Palestinian personhood beyond the active space of the settler-colony. I utilize three seemingly disparate cases to make this argument. I begin with Israel’s military onslaught on Gaza in May 2021. I then offer a personal account, followed by ethnographic research conducted with Palestinian Iraq War refugees resettled in Brazil and also examine other military conflicts in the Middle East that have resulted in continual forced Palestinian displacements. Throughout, I demonstrate how Israeli settler colonialism is not an event but a structure (Wolfe. Settler Colonialism and the Transformation of Anthropology: The Politics and Poetics of an Ethnographic Event. London: Cassell, 1999) which impacts Palestinian life far outside of the original space of displacement.KEYWORDS: Manifold NakbasPalestinesettler colonialismdispossessiondiasporasrefugees Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Majid, “Even Fish Not Spared of Israeli.”2 HRW, “A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities.”3 Ibid.4 Ibid.5 Sayegh, “Zionist Colonialism in Palestine (1965),” 217.

Pink-washing for example, wherein Israel is marketed as a queer haven in the midst of an otherwise dangerous and virulently homophobic Middle East. Queer Palestinians, however, are always already excluded.6 Ibid.7 I borrow this term from sociologists Leisy Abrego and Cecilia Menjívar who trace the various ways in which the judicial system in the US has legitimated its abuses toward undocumented migrants by codifying it in law. “Legal violence” authorizes material and psychic violence in three vital spheres of life: Family, Work, and School, “through which immigrants experience the effects of the law” (1384). Fear of family separation because of deportation; enduring difficult and sometimes abusive work conditions without reporting for fear of being discovered as undocumented; loss of hope for continuing education because of little prospects of getting funding as a result of undocumented status.8 Abrego and Menjívar, “Legal Violence.”9 Sayegh, “Zionist Colonialism in Palestine (1965),” 218.10 Wolfe, Settler Colonialism and the Transformation of Anthropology.11 Theodor Herzl, the founder of the Zionist movement, claimed that in Palestine Zionists would “form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism” (Herzl, 1988, as cited in Erakat, 2019, 28).12 Wolfe, “Settler Colonialism and the Elimination,” 388.13 Sayegh, “Zionist Colonialism in Palestine (1965),” 207.14 Ibid.15 Shihab Nye, “There Will be Peace in the ","PeriodicalId":43759,"journal":{"name":"Political Theology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135815398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
