Security coordination in the West Bank -- Conclusion : neoliberal apartheid Summary In recent years, as peace between Israelis and Palestinians has remained cruelly elusive, scholars and activists have increasingly turned to South African history and politics to make sense of the situation. In the early 1990s, both South Africa and Israel began negotiating with their colonized populations. South Africans saw results: the state was democratized and black South Africans gained formal legal equality. Palestinians, on the other hand, won neither freedom nor equality, and today Israel remains a settler-colonial state. Despite these different outcomes, the transitions of the last 20 years have produced surprisingly similar socioeconomic changes in both regions: growing inequality, racialized poverty, and advanced strategies for securing the powerful and policing the racialized poor. This text explores this paradox through an analysis of (de)colonization and neoliberal racial capitalism Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed February 16, 2017) Subject Neoliberalism -- South Africa Neoliberalism -- Palestine Decolonization -- South Africa Arab-Israeli conflict -- Social aspects HISTORY -- Middle East -- General.
