Contents:
Introduction : racial capitalism and settler colonialism -- South Africa and Palestine/Israel : histories and transitions -- Alexandra : the precariousness of the poor -- Bethlehem : neoliberal colonization -- A legalized mafia : security privatization in Johannesburg -- A monopoly of violence? Security coordination in the West Bank -- Conclusion : neoliberal apartheid.
Summary: In recent years, as peace between Israelis and Palestinians has remained cruelly elusive, scholars and activists have increasingly turned to South African history and politics to make sense of the situation. In the early 1990s, both South Africa and Israel began negotiating with their colonized populations. South Africans saw results: the state was democratized and black South Africans gained formal legal equality. Palestinians, on the other hand, won neither freedom nor equality, and today Israel remains a settler-colonial state. Despite these different outcomes, the transitions of the last 20 years have produced surprisingly similar socioeconomic changes in both regions: growing inequality, racialized poverty, and advanced strategies for securing the powerful and policing the racialized poor. This text explores this paradox through an analysis of (de)colonization and neoliberal racial capitalism.

In recent years, as peace between Israelis and Palestinians has remained cruelly elusive, scholars and activists have increasingly turned to South African history and politics to make sense of the situation. In the early 1990s, both South Africa and Israel began negotiating with their colonized populations. South Africans saw results: the state was democratized and black South Africans gained formal legal equality. Palestinians, on the other hand, won neither freedom nor equality, and today Israel remains a settler-colonial state. Despite these different outcomes, the transitions of the last 20 years have produced surprisingly similar socioeconomic changes in both regions: growing inequality, racialized poverty, and advanced strategies for securing the powerful and policing the racialized poor. This text explores this paradox through an analysis of (de)colonization and neoliberal racial capitalism.
