Lori Allen se penche sur la politique palestinienne, explorant des thèmes tels que le nationalisme, la violence, le genre et les droits de l'homme. Son travail examine de manière critique les pratiques politiques et les discours au sein de la société palestinienne, en particulier comment les concepts de droits et de souffrance ont façonné le discours politique des années 1920 à nos jours. À travers ses recherches ethnographiques et historiques, elle offre des perspectives profondes sur les dynamiques complexes du pouvoir, de la résistance et de l'expérience humaine dans les territoires occupés.

This book offers a provocative retelling of Palestinian political history through an examination of the international commissions that have investigated political violence and human rights violations. More than twenty commissions have been convened over the last century, yet no significant change has resulted from these inquiries. The findings of the very first, the 1919 King-Crane Commission, were suppressed. The Mitchell Committee, convened in the heat of the Second Intifada, urged Palestinians to listen more sympathetically to the feelings of their occupiers. And factfinders returning from a shell-shocked Gaza Strip in 2008 registered their horror at the scale of the destruction, but Gazans have continued to live under a crippling blockade. Drawing on debates in the press, previously unexamined UN reports, historical archives, and ethnographic research, Lori Allen explores six key investigative commissions over the last century. She highlights how Palestinians' persistent demands for independence have been routinely translated into the numb language of reports and resolutions. These commissions, Allen argues, operating as technologies of liberal global governance, yield no justice—only the oppressive status quo. A History of False Hope issues a biting critique of the captivating allure and cold impotence of international law.
