520 |a This article investigates how Mahmoud Darwish introduces a postcolonial utopian rhetoric whereby Israelis and Palestinians would create a better milieu than what presently exists by adopting new human and universal commonalities and by eliminating what Fredric Jameson labels ‘the root of all evil’. Israel's current colonial project against Gaza as forced displacement can be deconstructed through such rhetoric. Darwish's postcolonial utopia aligns with Bill Ashcroft's appeal to the creation of a better world free from hate, categorisation and the desire for annihilation. Strangely, Gaza's anti-colonial project for national independence has been unjustly categorized and distorted by Zionist Israel that espouses the ‘categorise and colonise’ slogan for imperial expansionism. Darwish's discourse introduces liberal-humanist cosmopolitan aesthetics to foreground a categorisation-free dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians through dissemination of the ethics of negotiation rather than negation. Darwish's rhetoric of postcolonial utopia comprises as such: the human promise; the entanglement of self and other.
