Discription:
NEW E-BOOK MADE AVAILABLE 2/23/2023Norman Finkelstein first made his name while still in
graduate school when he exposed an acclaimed national bestseller as a hoax. He went on in
subsequent decades to subject Israel&#8217apologists as well as Holocaust hucksters to
withering scrutiny.In his new book, Finkelstein focuses his keen forensic eye on the canonical
texts of identity politics. After methodically parsing them, Finkelstein concludes that
they&#8217relacking in intellectual substance. Instead, the real purpose of identity politics is to
derail a class-based movement bent on radical change.In a long, scathing chapter, Finkelstein
analyzes the cult surrounding Barack Obama, which he reveals as the ultimate product of identity
politics. The first Black president rose to power by having, in Obama&#8217own cynical words,
&#8220puled off a neat trick&#8221by standing for nothing except his skin color. If
&#8220woe&#8221liberals embraced him, it was because, beneath his hip veneer, Obama was a
sure bet to prop up the corrupt status quo.Along the way, Finkelstein recalls his own life in radical
politics and his close encounters with cancel culture, which left him unemployed and
unemployable. He situates his personal story within broader debates on academic freedom and
poignantly concludes that, although occasionally bitter, he harbors no regrets about the choices he
made.&#8220IfI can&#8217tlaugh, I don&#8217twant your revolution,&#8221Finkelstein declares.
Laced with his signature wit, readers of this book will get to laugh along with him.
