Resistance and Expropriation: A dual story of walls as mechanisms of settler violence and resistance in Belfast and Jenin Part 1 Dissertation 2025 Qasim Malik University of Greenwich | UK My aim for this dissertation was to cultivate a reciprocal analysis of settler colonialism, and further engage in exploring the shared experience of resisting state-sponsored colonial violence, resulting in a transnational solidarity, especially among grassroots activists, between Ireland and Palestinians. Settler colonialism has been practiced, and subsequently developed between the two societies, and critically understanding the contexts within which they were used, and why these techniques were so successful is the key to empowering re-enfranchisement of subjugated peoples. The research and methodology used relates to the principle of settler colonialism, and the success that exist in their principles, the total domination and disenfranchisement of a native community. In understanding the techniques involved and why they are so crucially necessary to an imperial machine, we can better understand an evolving establishment and develop techniques of distinctly successful resistance. In understanding that a people can be holistically imprisoned using architecturally martial techniques so inextricably, we can begin to create methodologies of resistance and move forward to a post expropriative experience, or as Marx described, begin the expropriation of the expropriators.
