Governing through emergency legislation and through practices of exception, emergency, necessity and security, Israel positions itself outside domestic and international law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeconstructing Agamben's Eurocentric theoretical position Lentin shows that it occludes colonialism, settler colonialism and anti-colonialism and fails to specifically foreground race; instead she combines the work of Wolfe, who proposes race as a trace of settler colonialism, and Weheliye, who argues that Agamben's western-centric understanding of exception fail to speak from explicitly racialized and gendered standpoints. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmploying existing media, activist, and academic accounts of racialization this book deliberately breaks from white, Western theorizations of biopolitics, exception, and bare life, and instead foregrounds race and gender in analysing settler colonial conditions in Israel.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRonit Lentin\u003c\/b\u003e is Former Associate Professor of Sociology, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and has published extensively on Palestine-Israel and racism.
