UWO PIRG Palestian Human Rights working group
with King's Center for Social Concern hosts: "The Ethnic
Cleansing of Palestine" with Professor Ilan Pappé

speaker plus Q&A &
book signing

From march 25th to 30th, the Near East Cultural and
Educational Foundation (NECEF) and Solidarity for Palestinian
Human Rights (SPHR)National, will be touring Professor Ilan Pappé
in commemoration of the 60th year of the Palestinian Nakbah
(Catastrophe). Prof. Pappé was born in Haifa to German-Jewish
parents who had fled Nazi persecution in the 1930s. He graduated from
the Hebrew University in 1978, and obtained his D.Phil. from the
University of Oxford in 1984. He was the Academic Director of the
Research Institute for Peace at Givat Haviva from 1993 to 2000, and
is currently teaching at the University of Exeter in Britain.

His early books dealt with Israeli policy in 1948, a subject he
has returned to in his latest book, "The Ethnic Cleansing of
Palestine". His "A History of Modern Palestine"
covers the last two hundred years and focuses on cultural and social
issues. His "The Modern Middle East" is a textbook that
brings to the fore the social and cultural developments in the region
in the last century.
