Chicago Indymedia: DePaul's Norman Finkelstein Barnes & Noble's book signing next week

Anyone going to be in Chicago's Loop next Wednesday?

From Chicago IndyMedia:

Professor Norman Finkelstein, will have a book signing at the Barnes and Noble downtown at DePaul's Loop Campus (1 E. Jackson) and the event is on Tuesday September 20th at 12:30. Finkelstein's new book is called "Beyond Chutzpah, on the misuse of anti-semitism and abuse of history. It's a book about how Israeli apologists distort the facts about Israels human rights abuses and contribute to the oppression of Palestinians. The interesting thing about this event is that Barnes and Noble cancelled the event, but after activists and Palestine supporters called Barnes and Noble to compain, the event was rescheduled.

Here's what Sol at Solomonia said about Professor Finkelstein today, in reference to the Thomas Klocek free speech battle:

Amusingly, Hizballah fan Norman Finkelstein, whom DePaul actively recruited, continues in good standing and will be up for tenure soon.
