Abstract:
As a settler colonial space, Israel/Palestine is a site of struggle betweendefinitions of indigeneity and settlerness. With the release of the first Palestinian“indigenous wine” in 2008, we witness the “indigenous turn” in the local winefield. This article analyzes the struggle over authentic indigeneity in Israel/Palestinethrough a political biography of the indigenous grape and the netwo rk of actorsaround it. We follow the agency of indigenous varieties such as the Marawi/Hamdani,which enable the Israeli and Palestinian wine industries to claim their place in historyin an era in which terroir, or the ideosyncretic place, defines economic and cultural value. From a theoretical position that foregrounds the interface between human andnon-human agents, we show how the indigenous grape underwent a metamorphosisin recent years due to the combination between genetics, enology and history. Thistransformation is part of a global process of a search for place-based authenticity, butalso a local process whereby two collectivities struggle over the title of indigeneityin an uneven context of settler colonialism.
