Imperialismo e colonização na ocupação da Palestina durante o Mandato Britânico (1922–1947): terra, capital e resistência

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between imperialism and colonization in the occupation of Palestine during the British Mandate (1922-1947), focusing on the articulation between land, capital, and resistance. The analysis is grounded in the hypothesis that British domination, in alliance with the Zionist project, structured a singular process of colonization in which territorial expropriation was directly linked to the economic and productive reorganization of Palestinian territory. The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic review and documentary analysis, drawing on theoretical contributions related to imperialism, colonialism, and settler colonization. The historical analysis highlights the central role of land in the dynamics of domination, while Zionist capital and industrialization are examined as key elements in the transformation of local economic structures. Within this framework, Palestinian resistance is understood as a response to processes of displacement, impoverishment, and the erosion of material autonomy. The analysis indicate that the Palestinian case reveals a specific colonial dynamic, in which land expropriation and productive reorganization operate as central mechanisms of domination.
