New Publication: Home-Making as Race-Making in Palestine
The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights (CCJHR) is pleased to announce that one of its members, Dr. Henrietta Zeffert, has published research in the State Crime Journal.
The article is titled “Home-Making as Race-Making in Palestine”.
The abstract reads as follows:
“Under the ceasefire “agreement” announced in October 2025, Israel is required to allow hundreds of thousands of tents and mobile shelters into Gaza for those who have lost their homes. This has not happened. This essay argues that home-making is a race-making project and that settler colonialism is a racial project with home at its centre, conditioned by logics of construction and destruction to produce extreme residential segregation, replacement, and domination, and the debasing of the human personality. Thinking race through home amid settler colonialism, this essay asks: When will Gazans hold a key, and unlock the front door to their own homes again?"
