Dr. Joel Kovel is a scholar who has published nine books on Zionism, ecology, nuclear terror, psychoanalysis, Nicaragua, white racism in the US, and McCarthyism. He has also published over a hundred articles and reviews, including The Enemy of Nature: The End of Capitalism or The End of the World (Zed, 2002). Since 2003 he has been Editor-in-Chief of the quarterly journal, Capitalism Nature Socialism.
He is also a medical doctor, psychoanalyst, and social science professor.
He is an activist who has been engaged in struggles for peace and justice since the Vietnam War era. Kovel has worked within the antiwar and antinuclear movements, the solidarity movements in Central America and the Caribbean, the movements for democratic media, and, increasingly, for ecological transformation. He joined the Green Party in 1990 and in 1998 he was the Green Party candidate for US Senator from New York, and in 2000 sought their Presidential nomination.
Amidst all the reports that fill our media on the conflict involving Israel, the political philosophy of Zionism rarely is discussed. Yet it is central to understanding daily events in the Middle East. Dr. Joel Kovel's most recent book Overcoming Zionism is written with literary elegance, intellectual rigour, and draws upon the varied training and skills he has in psychoanalysis and the social sciences.
