Blaming the Victims: Spurious Scholarship and the Palestinian Question

How the historical fate of the Palestinians has been justified by spurious academic attempts to dismiss their claim to a home within the boundaries of historical Palestine and even to deny their very existence. With contributions from Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, Janet L. Abu-Lughod, Noam Chomsky, Norman G. Finkelstein, Rashid Khalidi, Blaming The Victims explore how Israel not only conquered the land but also the battle of ideas, representations, rhetoric, and images . Chomksy looks at how this then feeds into the American ideological system, while Finkelstein looks at the formation of pseudohistory in order to establish Israeli primacy in the region.
