Canada as a Settler Colony on the Question of Palestine explores Canada-Palestine relations through a settler colonial lens. The authors argue that there are direct parallels between Canada’s settler colonial project and its support for the Israeli settler colonial dispossession of Palestinians. Chapters reflect on community politics and activism, migration, orientalism, and critical race theory. Contributors also look at Canada’s foreign policy as informed by its history of settler colonialism. Finally, the collection illuminates the breadth and depth of Palestinian life in Canada. Common themes include settler colonial destruction, dispossession, segregation and otherness, along with accounts of people challenging those processes.
