The Department of Ethnic Studies UC Berkeley

The Department of Ethnic Studies is proud to announce the release of Dr. Hatem Bazian’s newest book Erasing the Human: Collapse of the Postcolonial Worl and the Refugee Immigration Crisis, published by Claritas Books. This impactful new book explores the collapse of the post-colonial world through the lens of Palestine. “Borders and boundaries are creating a refugee-immigration crisis on a mass scale leading to the slow ‘erasure’ of the human through systematic oppression and the ongoing struggle for liberation. Navigating to unmask the structural racism, violence and multiple genocides, this book delves deep into Dr. Bazian’s own experiences as a Palestinian living in the diaspora away from his homeland, to critically analyse the history and origins of the immigration-refugee crisis”—
