The consistent presence of colonialism in the Palestinian geography throughout history, and the expansion of capitalism produced, and certainly, reproduced [The Colonial Inheritance], systems of control with the main premise of exploiting human and natural resources. Hence, these patterns of resource control, exploitation, expansion, and commodification are confronted by the challenging resistance, and creative survival strategies developed, and inherited, by the historical inhabitants of the geography. Consequently, colonial and capitalist expansion, and the struggle against their hegemonic structures take place within a continuously reproduced territories in frontiers–territorialization dynamic. This research aims at dissecting the colonial structure, and the use of capital as one of it's main arms in the domestication of the colonised through their political and economic elites, (a strategy never fails to prove it's inadequacy within the Palestinian context), by bringing about narratives discussing frontiers, spaces within frontiers, the extraterritorial, and frontiers of colonial and capitalist extraction. This research does not aim to answer questions, or to make a manifestation per ser, as much as it is about understanding the ways in which certain forms of human settlements developed in the territories of the West Bank since the establishment of settler colonialism. With an introduction to the circumstances that brought about these developments since the end of the Ottoman Empire, and briefly touching on subjects such as the new forms of citizenship, property ownership, and class order produced within this context, and the creative survival strategies by the oppressed.
