Beginning with a discussion of American Zionism, the work proceeds to explain why scholars working on the question of Palestine are often denied standard academic freedom. This is supported by prominent cases, such as Norman G. Finkelstein's denial of tenure, the Middle East Studies Department at Columbia University, and Mearsheimer and Walt's book, \u003ci\u003eThe Israel Lobby\u003c\/i\u003e. The work of Edward Said and Noam Chomsky are also discussed and the book concludes with recommendations for protecting intellectual freedom to those seeking to critically pursue the question of Palestine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis scholarly study will appeal to a broad audience of faculty, students, and readers who seek to understand the importance of academic freedom and the thorny debates surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Abraham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441127232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441127235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Matthew Abraham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896685977855,"sku":"9781441127235","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71c84207-7ab1-4722-adb1-9929429bcb2d.jpg?v=1721372056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-bounds-matthew-abraham-9781441127235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
