"OVERCOMING ZIONISM: CREATING A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC STATEIN ISRAEL/PALESTINE"

**Please Post Widely** Joel Kovel Book Launch ///  Date: 7pm, Wednesday April 4 /// Place: Room 2118, Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St.George St. - Renowned US-based activist, media commentator and professor, Joel Kovel, is visiting Toronto as part of his Canadian tour to promote his new book, 'Overcoming Zionism'. Kovel sought the Green Party 2000 U.S. Presidential nomination and has served as a professor in psychiatry, anthropology, political science, social studies, and communications. His ten books include The Enemy of Nature: The End of Capitalism or the End of the World?, White Racism: A Psychohistory, and Red Hunting in the Promised Land: Anticommunism and the Making of America. He is currently editor-in-chief of Capitalism Nature Socialism.

In his latest book, Kovel argues that the inner contradictions of Zionism have led Israel to a "state-sponsored racism" fully as incorrigible as that of apartheid South Africa and deserving of the same resolution. He argues that only a path toward single-state secular democracy can provide justice essential to healing the wounds of the Middle East. The book will be available for sale at the event.
