Norman Finkelstein received his doctorate in 1988 from the Department of Politics at Princeton
University. For many years he has taught political theory and the Israel-Palestine conflict. He is
currently an independent scholar.
He is the author of five books which have been translated into more than 40 foreign editions:
Beyond Chutzpah: On the misuse of anti-Semitism and the abuse of history;
The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the exploitation of Jewish suffering;
Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict;
Nation on Trial: The Goldhagen thesis and historical truth;
The Rise and Fall of Palestine: A personal
account of the intifada years.
He has just completed a new book entitled A Farewell to Israel: The
coming break-up of American Zionism, to be published in 2009.
“A person who can speak with more authority and insight on these topics [Israel and anti-Semitism]
than anyone I can think of.” –Noam Chomsky, father of modern linguistics
“It takes an enormous amount of academic courage to speak the truth when no one else is out there
to support him … His place in the whole history of writing history is assured, and that those who in
the end are proven right triumph, and he will be among those who will have triumphed, albeit, it so
seems, at great cost.” –Raul Hilberg, world’s leading authority on the Nazi Holocaust
This event is free and open to the public.
