regimes in Africa and in the class nature of Israel indicative of transen-
dance of settler colonialism, as it is becoming historically superfluous
and potentially an impediment to the restoration of the international
hegemony of U.S. monopoly capital, shaken in the seventies?
For examining any of these questions, it is imperative to have a
closer look at the specific aspects of uneven development that gave rise
precisely to this settler colonial form, and more importantly, the essence
of unevenness in capitalist development and specificity of cases.
