Who has the right to a safe and protected childhood? Incarcerated Childhood and the Politics of Unchilding deepens understanding of children as political capital in the hands of those in power, critically engaging children''s voices alongside archival, historical, and ethnographic material in Palestine. Offering the concept of unchilding'', Shalhoub-Kevorkian exposes the political work of violence designed to create, direct, govern, transform, and construct colonized children as dangerous, racialized others, enabling their eviction from the realm of childhood itself. Penetrating children''s everyday intimate spaces and, simultaneously, their bodies and lives, unchilding works to enable a complex machinery of violence against Palestinian children: imprisonment, injuries, loss, trauma, and militarized political occupation. At the same time as the book documents violations of children''s rights and the consequences this has for their present and future well-being, it charts children''s resistance to and power to interrupt colonial violence, reclaiming childhood and, with it, Palestinian futures.
