Autochthony as politics: Resistance, land and landscape in the Occupied Syrian Golan Heights
Funder: Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (www.iss.nl/erpi), ·International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam (ISS),Duration: August 2017 - January 2018
Whereas authoritarian discourses, Israeli propaganda and imperialist interventions in the Middle East have mobilised sectarian identity rhetorics to explain conflict and divide populations, the stateless Syrian Druze population in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights have eschewed the use of any sectarian identity politics in their 50-year struggle. Could the struggle against Israeli occupation within this rural vantage on the Middle East offer new insights into the emancipatory potential of agrarian and land-based political movements?
