A rich ethnographic study, this book explores the gendered politics of settler colonialism through a comparative focus on masculinities across Israel and Palestine. Accessibly written, this will have appeal across a variety of fields, including Gender studies and Middle East studies, with both researchers and policy-makers finding it of interest.
Working from the premise that gender and violence are cyclically related, masculinities' connection to power and violence are frequently simplistically assumed. Yet, amid ongoing colonisation and military occupation, there are other more complex dynamics simultaneously at play across Israel and Palestine. In this book, Chloe Skinner explores this, untangling the gendered politics of settler colonialism to shed specific light on the ways in which masculinities shift and morph in this context of colonial violence. Oscillating between analysis of Israeli militarism and military occupation in Palestine, each chapter examines the constitutive performance and negotiation of masculinised ideals across these colonial hierarchies. Masculinities are thus analysed across these settings in connection, rather than in isolation – illustrating that gendered identities, practices, and performances here are intertwined by that which simultaneously divides and separates them: the apartheid politics of the Israeli state.

Chloe Skinner is a post-doctoral researcher in the Power and Popular Politics Cluster at Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield.
