In \u201cBombs, women, children, etc.\u201d: Humanization, Victimhood, and the Politics of Appeal, El-Kurd unpacks the impact such practices of \u201cdefanging,” which reproduce the mainstream cultural order in which Palestinians are robbed of their agency, right to self-determination, and, ultimately, their humanity.<\/p>\n
