To See In the Dark
How social media shaped the new global intifada
To See In the Dark is a manifesto to solidarity, timely and clearly written, as praised by Stephen Sheehi, co-author of Psychoanalysis Under Occupation.
To see Palestine is to see the world. Since October 7th 2023, the forces of racial capitalism and settler colonialism have become all too visible in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
In To See In the Dark, Nicholas Mirzoeff explores how images, especially video, viewed outside Palestine enabled a dramatic switch in public opinion, leading to a global uprising against the genocide.
Through this groundbreaking analysis, he connects the personal and the political through his own anti-Zionist Jewishness and its histories of violence. The result is a new collective and anti-colonial way of seeing, intersecting online and embodied experience.
