Out of the FrameThe Struggle for Academic Freedom in Israel\nAuthor(s): Ilan Pappe\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Pluto Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Pluto Press\nISBN-13: 9780745327259, 978-0745327259\nSynopsis\nIlan Pappe has long been a controversial figure in Israel, here; he gives a full account of his break with mainstream Israeli scholarship and its consequences. \n\nGrowing up in a conventional Israeli community and influenced by the utopian visions of Theodor Herzl, Pappe was barely aware of the Nakba in his high school years. This intellectual biography traces his journey of discovery, from the whispers of Palestinian classmates, to his realisation that the 'enemy's' narrative of 1948 was correct, and his vow to protect the memory of the Nakba. 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.\n\nT.
