Alain Finkielkraut, Professor of the History of Ideas at the École Polytechnique in Paris, is one of France’s foremost essayists and scholars of post-Holocaust Jewish identity in Europe. He is the author of 28 books, including The Imaginary Jew (1994) and The Future of a Negation: Relfections on the Question of Genocide (1998). He has had a major impact on the intellectual discourse on antisemitism through incisive essays like “In the Name of the Other: Reflections on the Coming Anti-semitism “ (2004).
