On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence, and Justice with Adam Kirsch

Adam Kirsch is a poet, writer, and an editor at the Wall Street Journal. His newest book, On Settler Colonialism, deftly addresses a concept that burst into public view since Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The term “settler colonialism” is new to most Americans, but entrenched and influential in academic circles, shaping the way many young people are coming to think about the history of the United States, Israel and Palestine, and a host of political issues. His remarkably concise and precise book is the first to examine “settler colonialism” critically for a general readership. By judiciously critiquing the most important writers, texts, and ideas in the field, Mr. Kirsch shows how the concept emerged in the context of North American and Australian history and how it shifted to being applied to Israel as well. He examines the sources of its appeal, which, he argues, are emotional as much as political; how it aims to delegitimize nations; and why it has the potential to turn indignation at past injustices into a wellspring of new injustices today.
