Drawing upon his eminent scholarship, as well as his recent personal losses from the violence of October 7th, Joel Beinin (Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History and Professor of Middle East History, Emeritus, Stanford University) reflects on the question of violent resistance to settler colonialism. In doing so, he offers filmic and textual analysis of The Battle of Algiers as an artistic example of the social economy of deadly violence of the colonizers and colonized. Prof. Beinin brings this artistic example in direct conversation with the current war in Israel and Gaza, drawing upon historic examples of comparative settler colonialism from around the world.
