Cover of The Time beneath the Concrete: Palestine between Camp and Colony by Nasser Abourahme. Cover is blue and features an image of an art installation featuring six human figures in concrete. There is some Arabic text above them on the right. The title is in white at the top of the design, the subtitle beneath that in red, and the author name at the bottom in white.

In "The Time beneath the Concrete," Nasser Abourahme argues that settler colonialism in #Palestine is always as much an attempt to conquer time as it is to conquer land. Read the introduction for free now.
