"Areej Sabbagh-Khoury's groundbreaking book sheds light on the structures and events that facilitated Zionist settler colonialism in Palestine. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand exactly how the tensions between socialism and Zionism played out on the ground."Maha Nassar, University of Arizona "Colonizing Palestine guides us with great precision and acumen through the memory lanes of Israelis and Palestinians. Those who think they have read it all about the Nakba and its impact on our present realities will need to consult this impressive and crucial addition to the literature on settler colonialism and Palestine."Ilan Pappé, University of Exeter "In Colonizing Palestine, Areej Sabbagh-Khoury peels back the cover of Zionist history. Her mix of meticulous archival research and rigorous theorizing is powerful, profound, and upending. She has offered a new touchstone from which all future research should begin."David N. Myers, University of California, Los Angeles "Sabbagh-Khoury offers a conclusive answer to the question of whether a socialist ideology could be reconciled with settler colonialism."Marc Martorell Junyent, The New Arab "In this timely and crucial work, which adds to the corpus on Mandatory Palestine, Sabbagh-Khoury reviews the development of the kibbutzim and the relationship between the Zionist settlers who inhabited them and their new Palestinian Arab neighbors, including both Muslims and Christians.... Recommended."S. J. Stillwell Jr., CHOICE "With exquisite craftsmanship and a many-layered style, [ Sabbagh-Khoury] has gone beyond an impressive archive of primary sources to inhale a massive number of books. This is without doubt a signal intervention that is an emotionally honest reckoning, impressively learned, and with a splendidly original analysis."Alan Wald, Against the Current "Colonizing Palestine is a groundbreaking book that scholars of Israel and Palestine, political and historical sociology, and sociology and anthropology of colonialism and memory should read. This remarkable resource will provide readers with an exceptional grasp of the nuances of settler colonialism, Zionism, and the history of the Nakba, as both a past event and an ongoing process in Palestine. I will continue to read and teach this book for many years to come."Atef Said, Spectre
