Olive trees are indigenous to Palestine and have been harvested there for over 5,000 years. Palestinian livelihoods are contingent upon the thriving of the olive and its extractions for culinary, bodily, spiritual, and cultural purposes. As Palestinians continue to experience the decimation of their lands, the consumption of Palestinian olive oil has become increasingly popular through transnational fair trade circuits that have allowed Palestinian olive oils, soaps, and tapenades to appear on shelves worldwide through popular brands like Dr. Bronner and Lush cosmetics. In this presentation, I introduce the concept of vanishment as a way to describe the processes of transforming, disappearing, replacing, and depoliticizing of Palestinian cultures and lands through a system of apparent cooptation and inclusion. I offer new ways of understanding the complexities of settler-colonialism, one in which indigenous Palestinian foodways, harvesting practices, and memory can be understood as a site of knowledge production and anticolonial praxis. I argue that Palestine is reclaimed and remembered through everyday olive practices that anchor Palestinians to a land and culture said to be vanished or non-existent. In analyzing the dialectical process of capitalist integration and indigenous survival--or what I conceptualize as Vanishment, I center Palestine within indigenous studies, where it’s often cited only referentially, giving indigenous studies a global dimension--to articulate Palestinian olive harvesters as knowledge producers and agents of decolonization. Based on multi-sited, ethnography, I demonstrate how settler colonialism and the processes of vanishing native peoples and their subjectivities, co-resides with neoliberal, multicultural tropes of contingent humanity. In this way, this presentation illuminates the ways in which settler-colonialism is both material and cultural—in the case of Palestine, racial and gendered formulations functions through a transnational nexus of power within this current moment of empire, bringing postcolonial theory into conversation into conversation with post 9/11 racial formation, militarization and neoliberal capitalism. I also show how indigenous peoples are not dormant or passive recipients of vanishment; in particular, Palestinian women act against Vanishment by imbuing political urgency into daily acts and intimate moments--revealing forms of insurrection in seemingly tame sites--where food is prepared, where stories are told, and where olives are harvest — as agents of life-making and anticolonial praxis.
