However, since the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin and the later obliteration of the Oslo accord, public manifestations of dissent on Israeli campuses have been remarkably mute. This chronicle of AD KAN is explored in view of the ongoing theoretical discourse on the role of the intellectual in society and is compared with other account of academic involvement in different countries during periods of acute political conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…a contribution to the understanding of contemporary Israeli society and an example of academic, not least anthropological, engagement with public affairs”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Ulf Hannerz\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Stockholm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book is interesting at least in three ways: it gives insight into the fraught political\/ideological situation in Israel; it shows how academics can make a difference (and where they fail to do so); and it gives a portrait of a prominent Israeli anthropologist’s intellectual and political itinerary.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Thomas Hylland Eriksen\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Oslo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e On Memory\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Personal Note\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The First Palestinian Intifada\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003eIntellectuals\/Academics Engagement in the Public Forum\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Israeli Academics’ Political Involvement Prior to the First Intifada\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Founding of AD KAN\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Opening the Sealed Box of AD KAN\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Working of a Protest Organization\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Media Coverage\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Moving Scene from Afar and Near\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Senate Debacle\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/strong\u003e Raising the PLO Presence on Campus\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/strong\u003e Towards the Last Stage\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Aftermath: When Prophecy Fails\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 14.\u003c\/strong\u003e Listening to AD KAN Veterans\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 15.\u003c\/strong\u003e Past and Present Israeli Protestors Reconsidered\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 16.\u003c\/strong\u003e Israeli and other Critics’ Commentary on the Continuing Occupation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 17.\u003c\/strong\u003e Israeli Society 2018: An Anthropological Perspective\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042560770391,"sku":"9781789206982","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789206982.jpg?v=1750954645","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/can-academics-change-the-world-an-israeli-anthropologists-testimony-on-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-protest-movement-on-campus-9781789206982","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
