Settler colonialism

Noura Erakat and John Reynolds

Chapter 5 in Research Handbook on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), 2025, pp 46-54 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This interview with Noura Erakat was done by John Reynolds in September 2022. We discuss the defining features of settler colonialism, how it is distinguished from other forms of colonialism, and the nature of its relationship with international law. The interview also addresses questions of knowledge production: how the field of settler colonial studies is defined, who the main theorists of settler colonialism are and what their key interventions have been. The interview highlights in particular the contributions of Third World and Indigenous thinkers, from Palestine to Australia to Hawai’i, to our understandings of settler colonialism. It reflects in this light on whether and how settler colonial studies relates to Indigenous scholarship and Indigenous studies. The interview also touches directly on the question of Palestine: what does settler colonialism look like in Palestine today? What does international law have to say about it?
