An audio recording of this essay, posted on May 15, 2024. Read by the author.
Links to the suggested further reading on necropolitics,‘Colonial management of death: To be or not to be dead in Palestine’ (link), and ‘Fighting to Bury Their Children: on the Necropolitics of Occupation’. The latter is an essay found in Rebellious Mourning edited by Cindy Milstein, and I think it is so important to read that I will be including a link to a PDF of the pages I have scanned. Find it here.
