Biography
Born in Paris on 23 July 1936,[2] Hazan's mother was a Romanian Jew originally from Palestine,[3] while his father, Fernand Hazan, was a Jew originally from Egypt and the brother of editor and librarian Émile Hazan.[4] During World War II, his family took refuge in Marseille. After the war, his father founded the publishing house Éditions Hazan. Hazan attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and joined communist activists,[5] as well as the National Liberation Front during the Algerian War.[6] He became a cardiovascular surgeon and campaigned for abortion rights in France.[5] In 1975, as a founder of the Association France-Palestine Solidarité, he travelled to Lebanon during the civil war to work as a combat doctor.[6] He was a member of the Russel Tribunal on Palestine, which began work on 4 March 2009.[7]
In 1983, Hazan gave up surgery and became director of the family publishing business, Éditions Hazan.[5] However, he left management after the publisher was acquired by Groupe Hachette. In 1998, he founded the publishing house La Fabrique ("The Factory"), where the works published were primarily left-wing and historical or philosophical.[8] He allegedly only published works by his friends according to Libération, which included the authors Norman Finkelstein and Houria Bouteldja.[9] The Coming Insurrection, published, written by The Invisible Committee and published by La Fabrique was denounced by Minister of the Interior Michèle Alliot-Marie and led to Hazan's testimony in the Tarnac affair.[5] He also wrote and translated more than twenty works, including those of Edward Said.
Éric Hazan died in Paris on 6 June 2024, at the age of 87.[10] Jacques Rancière wrote a tribute to him in Liberation, published in English in the New Left Review.[11]
