Education and research
Beinin received his A.B. from Princeton University in 1970, his M.A. from Harvard University in 1974, and his A.M.L.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1978 and 1982, respectively. He also studied at the American University of Cairo and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Beinin's research and writing focuses on workers, peasants, and minorities in the modern Middle East; he also writes about issues regarding Israel, Palestine, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. He has lived for a number of years in Israel and Egypt.
His most recent book, published in 2001, is Workers and Peasants in the Modern Middle East. In 2002 he served as President of the Middle East Studies Association of North America.
David Horowitz lawsuit
Beinin filed a lawsuit against writer and activist David Horowitz for copyright infringement regarding the use of a photo of Beinin on the cover of Horowitz's booklet "Campus Support for Terrorism". The photo in question was acquired for the purposes of the lawsuit from photographer Ted Mock, a year after it had appeared on the booklet. Horowitz points out that U.S. copyright law allows the use of photographs of prominent people for the purpose of comment and criticism.
