Palestinian dispossession parallels racially inscribed catastrophes elsewhere in the postcolonial world

Evidence

Ringing out against one occupation, the voice of the bereft in societies drained of their dignity, this Palestinian protest poem could be said to apply equally to coterminous “Naqbas” elsewhere if deeply connected, those racially inscribing death, destruction, and the demise of the civil in the name of imposed civilities, peace, democracy. One kind of stateless state of being ringing out against another, other, emphatically stated ones. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 300

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s existing interest in racialized dispossession as a comparativist framework — ‘Naqbas’ as a generalizable catastrophe concept.
• QUESTION: What exactly are the parallels Goldberg intends between Palestinian dispossession and other postcolonial catastrophes? Worth chasing in later chapters.
