Here he traces his journey of discovery from the whispers of Palestinian classmates to his realisation that the 'enemy's' narrative of the events of 1948 was correct. After completing his thesis at Oxford University in the early 1980s, he returned to Palestine determined to protect the memory of the Nakbah. For the first time he gives the details of the formidable opposition he faced in Israel, including death threats fed by the media, denunciations by the Knesset and calls for him to be sacked from his post at Haifa university.
This revealing work, written with dignity and humour, highlights Israel's difficulty in facing up to its past and forging a peaceful, inclusive future in Palestine.
Out of the Frame: The Struggle for Academic Freedom in Israel Reviews
-
Was honestly expecting a lot more from Illan Pappe on this one. The issue of academic freedom has been somewhat of a taboo topic in Israel and i thought "who else would be better to explore the topic than the writer of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine". What i got instead was a largely fragmented personal account of Pappe's own struggles in the area of Israel academia. Was interesting but not one of his best.

I do not like his views at all, he is a self-hating Jew and I totally feel sorry for him to falsely proud of his Israeli identity.
-
Amazing book. Read about the freedom of academia in the Israeli society by an Israeli.

Questo libretto è la risposta alla domanda: «Ma perché il BDS coinvolge anche gli ambienti accademici? Cosa c’entrano con le politiche di Israele?».
