Ronit Lentin (Hebrew: רונית לנטין; born 25 October 1944) is an Israeli–Irish[1] political sociologist, and a writer of fiction and non-fiction books.

Life

Lentin was born in Haifa, Mandatory Palestine, in 1944 as Ronit Salzberger and grew up in Israel. She was exempted from military service in the Israel Defense Forces for medical reasons and began studyig at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, though she did not complete a degree. According to Lentin, she became anti-Zionist shortly after the Six-Day War when she began following the socialist anti-Zionist group Matzpen. In 1968 she began working for Israel Television, where she met her husband Louis Lentin. She moved to Ireland in 1969 and has lived there ever since. A political sociologist, she was an associate professor of sociology at Trinity College, Dublin until her retirement in 2014. From 1997 until 2012 Lentin was the director of the MPhil in Race, Ethnicity, Conflict, Department of Sociology. She was head of the Department of Sociology and a founder member of the Trinity Immigration Initiative, Trinity College, Dublin.[2] Lentin has published extensively on Palestine and Israel, racism and immigration in Ireland, and on gender and genocide and the Holocaust.

Lentin has advocated an open-door immigration policy for Ireland and opposes all deportations.[3]

Lentin is an activist for Palestinian liberation and for the Palestinian right of return. She supports a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; "one democratic state in historic Palestine where Palestinians, Jews and migrants live in full equality".[4]

Research

Lentin has researched on racism and immigration in Ireland, on race in Israel and Palestine, and on gender violence and feminism.
